it's about time, but realistically, how long is it going to take to turn things around out west and make stuff skiable/safe? utah is pretty obviously gonna slide like crazy as soon as they get any decent snow, and tahoe still doesn't even have a base down.

I know bunches of PASRs take trips out west, but I'll be just as happy when natural starts falling here in the NE... This is excellent news!!!

This really only applies for the EC, western weather is far more dependent on the PNA and jet stream stuff. I don't know enough about that to speak with any intelligence, though I can tell you the Cali, UT and CO resorts have already cut way back. Staff has been cut, lodges and lifts closed and this isn't something you could reverse in a week.

 

What that tells me is they are for some reason convinced this winter isn't going to take off, I don't know how anyone knows that but I got a couple of friends who have just lost there jobs and the CEO of Mammoth was just talking about this too.

 

Taos is having a rocking season, Whistler is doing well and Jackson ain't half bad. Baker either gets 10" of snow or 2" of rain every night so that may work.......With two weeks of the right weather everywhere could be shangri la but the chance of that is pretty small.

Lower mountain today...

The back side and upper mountain have plenty of snow, but temps have been so marginal that altitude has become a huge factor.
