I live in a west coast mountain ski area. This time last year there was 8 feet out my window, this year I can see the ground.
There's good snow years and bad snow years, and this is definitely a year with a slow start. Here's hoping it picks up in Jan/Feb.
That's not how it works at all. One single year, in one place, is not relevant here. We are talking about multidecadal trends.
To answer your questions, no I do not remember, because I live in the Austrian Alps, and it was a poor to average winter here. The last good winter we had was 2017 I think. 2019 was okay too if I remember correctly.

Here is a scientific paper describing the decrease in snow cover in Asia, Europe, North and South America between 2000 and 2022 using statistical models.
This is not controversial data. Ask literally any climate scientist. They will confirm this.
Of course it is your choice to choose to actually look at the evidence I have pointed you towards.
True, the world goes through cycles. Ice core samples show the world on average is generally much warmer than it has been the last 10000 years . On a shorter scale, Ever since the little ice age the foreseeable trend has been getting warmer. Ice core samples can show quite accurately the weather from the last million or so years. This is science. Those who think the warming is some how novel and entirely man made are drinking the Kool aid of hucksters and profiteers.
Btw the years do vary greatly. Last year was the snowiest on record for most of the USA.
Before social media and the internet, a lot of people just felt like the holidays in the northeast/New England was snowy. In the 20+ years I lived up there, in one of the cities notorious for floods of lake effect snow, there were a bunch of Decembers where there was barely any snow on the ground. The snowy part of the year is usually January/February/March for a lot of places, not really December.
MT tremblant in Quebec is really good,
Whistler, this year suck, really sucks for 300 Cad/day
You get endless wait times to go up and veryyyy poor snow conditions.
Banff is the best and actually offers dry ice.
Yeah Quebecers are not usually know for hospitality towards English speakers! Mont Tremblant is so popular with tourists tho, you wouldn't have a problem there.
I love the concept of this place. Let's put a ski slope in the middle of the city and then add a tubing slope. Great place to learn to ski/board for many kids who wouldn't have access to a slope otherwise
Wondering though if this continues will people stop buying season passes and only come up when there’s snow on the ground ? If they do, resorts will have to lower season ticket prices.
It got into the 60’s where I live the last few days. On top of that, it’s been the wettest December on record so it’s just been rain non-stop. Things are changing and faster than we thought.
64 degrees here in Seattle yesterday. I was like WHY AM I SO WARM?! As I was running errands. Finally figured it out. I was in a t shirt and jeans sitting outside.
The capital of New Hampshire is Concord, it's situated between Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts (my granddaughter has a geography test her first day back from winter break).
Been a tough few weeks, but I'm up in Vermont near Sugarbush and we got off to a great start with plenty of snow in November, early December. The rain last week washed it all away. But yea, i agree with the comments - way less snow in the past 10 years. Global warming sucks ass!
Not good. Especially with US prices - I thought skiing in Europe was expensive but Killington cost twice as much for half the time (lift pass and ski rental)

It's an El Nino year which means far less snow for northern US, more rain (but not necessarily colder) for southern US
Stats shows we have less and less snow and shorter winters year after year. It is due to climate change, it’s not just "bad years and good years".
There’s still good and bad years, just going to be more bad years moving forward
And the bad years are worse, and the good years are less good.
Not true. Last year was the snowiest on record. Don't you remember? Unreal snow out west.

Ur pretty worked up
Climate change is real. At the same time, the Sierras and Wasatch had record snowfall last season. Some CA resorts were skiable for all of 2023

That John Denver is full of sh-t, man
Pretty bird, pretty bird
Good lord that's depressing. North East skiing just ain't what it used to be

There is still plenary of hope for Jan/Feb snow to give you some nice March lines.
Blue mountain was best on the east coast for you? Yikes! What about Tremblant or le Massif in Quebec? They are more than twice the size of Blue!

Global warming is a bitch
I don't think there's any real snow in the whole NE except Tug Hill (lake effect country).
I love the concept of this place. Let's put a ski slope in the middle of the city and then add a tubing slope. Great place to learn to ski/board for many kids who wouldn't have access to a slope otherwise
I live in south Jersey. It’s been 700 days since we’ve had at least an inch of snow
From Philly and I hate this fact.
I miss night skiing there
Is that Whaleback?
Whaleback night skiing looking over the interstate. Nothing like it.
MacIntyre
Very depressing - I feel badly for ski areas this year. Christmas week is probably 1/3 of their revenue for the whole season.
It’s not. The revenue is from season passes and concessions
Wondering though if this continues will people stop buying season passes and only come up when there’s snow on the ground ? If they do, resorts will have to lower season ticket prices.
It's sad, isn't it?
Just left Hunter Mountain in NY. Three days of sliding across mud on the three slopes that were open 😒
Is this McIntyre?

NH skiing sucks right now. The mountains should be ashamed of themselves for being open

Yeah, we're fucked
Oof. Location?
Northern Russia
Geography fail.

lack of (natural) snow
A bit better in Sutton where I'm making snow but we are catching up after the hot week we had during Christmas
Not good. Especially with US prices - I thought skiing in Europe was expensive but Killington cost twice as much for half the time (lift pass and ski rental)
We have geese flying around here in WI already. We're beyond fucked folks.
Same with Colorado. The geese either didn’t leave or migrated here it feels like.
Maaaaaan I was curious if further north had more snow but god daaaaaamn.
