Simple partial explanation: Arizona and New Mexico get drier snow. Our wet snow doesn’t pile nearly as high as western fluff. Same reason our ski areas are so much more icy–and by icy I mean AWESOME–compared to the Rocky Mountain powder repositories.

Fact. I lived in Wisconsin and when I came to the northeast, I was shocked at how HEAVY the snow was. Drier air can make a lot of snow, but it’s lighter for sure.
