"\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Portillo Buried By Three Feet and Still Dumping&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Words and Photos: Johnny Stifter&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The forecast called for 15 centimeters. And 90 have fallen. The full stats: 26 inches in 24 hours, six percent water content and no wind. And that report was at 6 a.m. this morning. Since then, another ten inches have fallen, as a massive storm continues to pound Portillo. We skied this morning on the only lift running, attempting to score face shots on the 200-vertical-foot run the lift serviced. We all felt like eight-year-olds again, burying each other with ease and smiling wide. The forecast calls for sun on Thursday, but for now, the road remains closed and we&amp;#8217;re holed up watching the snow pile up outside on the deck. Winter is alive at Portillo!&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;These photos are from yesterday and today:&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align: right;\\\"&gt;\\n&lt;p style=\\\"text-align:
