El Niño could be a spoiler this winter. Strong one predicted this year and a NOAA blog post showed a historical snowfall map of El Niño years. Hopefully we get some cold snowmaking weather.

Ugh. Didn't we have one last year too?? I'm still upset about not skiing switchback last season

Is that the first time that they didn't get 100% open?

After 3 years of La Niña, we transitioned to El Niño last June. Not sure how La Niña affects snowfall.

Elk is rad. It's like skiing in Vermont, but without the drive.

It's hard watching the other places get cold and snowy and Tuesday it's supposed to be nearly 70. 

It will get cold but every year I feel like I get more and more impatient but even dec 1 is a good start.

The overnight lows Sat - Mon look nice, too bad it warms up again after instead of continuing or getting colder . . .

I think it was nearly 70 today and I’ll take 70 over 40 if the snowmaking cannons aren’t blasting.  I had a customer set up an appointment for December 1st today and they wanted 9 or 930 and I was thinking it would be just my bad luck that December 1st is opening day especially because Root Friday is so early so I just said sorry I like to leave mornings open to help with deliveries and set it up for at 3pm.

Where?  Killington?

Whats interesting is the humidity in our area when it does get cold.  but i think that settles out some when daytime/nightime temps get closer to one another.

That kinda went over your head.  i see thats for palmerton, but i just dont see making snow for maybe 2 nights will amount to anything.  

So when you said, "lets go"  i said "where, Killington?"  because i dont think they will make any snow in Palmerton, or at least any snow that will be of any benefit - (kinda looks to get a little warm next week)

But they have snow in Killington.  Man made, but they are open, and making snow.

I suspected the comment might be going over my head 🤣  I think they might only because they started with a hike park last year on the school hill and 2 cold nights is certainly enough to get that open.  I know that doesnt matter for most PASRS though.
