What I Hate About Ski Season

Ok let me just say I love everything about ski season.... BUT I hate this time of year. Its early november no snow has fallen. You keep hearing about global warming and all this other shit and every night I find myself praying that for once the east coast has a good season. Its so unsettling not knowing if we'll get a foot of snow or an inch of rain. West Coasters you don't knwo how lucky you are to have a guarenteed good season every year.

Usally theres like 12billions of chinese and yesterday any, it the dead season they call it. fortunatly it open the 17th and at the top of the moutnain theres like 3feet of snow at some places, its crazy, 10min north to tremblant its real winter i loved it and all the ski trails are white in the north sie of the mountain

yea. im not complaining becasue I live in the interior BC, but WE had around 6 inches worth of snow, and Its almost all gone due to rain. this shaky time where its a battle between the positives and negatives on the thermometer is a boner kill.

Haha, I can't believe you said everywhere on the west coast is "guaranteed a good season every year." That is far from the truth. Three years ago at Bridger was one of the worst seasons ever, I don't think we even got 200" on the upper mountain (before you say that's a significant amount take into consideration all the rocks it has to cover).

1. West coast isnt guarenteed a great season
2. You people on the east coast dont know how lucky your are to have decent sized mountians
3. Just get over it, go ski when you can and enjoy it

lake effect is gods way of torturing me....i live in a place in the heart of western NY where we never get lake effect. itll snow 2 feet to the west of me, 2 feet to the east of me, half a foot to the north, and half a foot to the south.....thats been the case during the past few weeks. no snow here at all basically.
