The resort is expecting nearly three feet of snow Tuesday, after receiving nine feet over the last several days.

"This is just a monumental snowfall, we've had 500 inches of snow this season," Palisades' PR Manager Patrick Lacey said. "We're looking at extending our season all the way to memorial day, but possibly even further after that, we'll make an announcement a little later this month."

500 inches is 41.5 feet of snow, which is more than 100 inches than the resort receives for the entire season on average.
