No crowds, not good

[bigdaddyk]

From what I've been reading, it seems that a lot of the local resorts are lacking crowds. This is really depressing because without the crowds, the season will end quicker. I don't know if people think the resorts don't have any snow, or what the problem is. Boulder had a decent turnout in the morning/ afternoon, but when I left at 5, it looked slow for a Friday night. I spoke to a couple who said they drove three hours and said they started to worry because they didn't see any snow on the ground, the closer they got. Don't people realize, almost all the snow that area resorts have is man made, or do they think there are magical storm clouds that hover over the slopes? Maybe the local resorts need to advertise more, to let the people know that they still have good snow.

If people watch the morning news, most of the Philadelphia channels that are broadcasted in the Tri-state area show live cams of the mountains.

Unfortunately PA just isn't a place where skiing is part of the mainstream local culture. When it starts to hit mid 70s down here in philly, people arent exactly thinking snow because they remember the last time it snowed, but cant really remember how many immobile objects they hit on the way to work that morning.
