Weak Ass Early Season: Sign of things to come?

I hate to be negative here, but seriously i'm getting a little worried here, I was skiing pretty legit backcountry this time of year last 4 seasons and there's barely any snow up high thats natural right now.  Then again last seasno was a really shitty Nov. and a phenomenal December so you never know.  Just hope global warming doesn't ravage CO too bad.  Meanwhile those bastards out in Utah seem to have plenty of snow!?!

Hopefully it mimics last years snow, we had a late opening with barely any snow dec. 2  last year and then it snowed 26 of 30 days  in dec., 25 or so days in jan., and same in feb.  I'm all for these late start seasons if they produce.  Atleast some summit places are open to get your fix in till the goods come.

It's looking like a La Nina year, which means dry fall and spring, and a bitchin winter. So stay positive and don't slash your wrists just yet.

It is supposed to start snowing on the 25th for a long time.  Supposedly these storms starting up in the Pacific are just going to keep regenerating and giving us consistent snowfall.  We will see how it plays out!  That same website said our weather would be just as it is now, so I guess they know what they are doing.

I am just glad Keystone has a sick early season park.  When is breck going to get a decent park set up so keystone will not be as crowded?

yah but key is rocking their early season park preeeeetty hard. too bad every skier in colorado is crammed onto like 10 runs in the summit county area. i cant imagine how miserable that's going to be when the thanksgiving hordes show up.

I'm terrified to see the lines this week, but at the least both Keystone and Breck are putting their parks as first priority soon.

I'm glad I did today, it wasn't really crowded except for a 1 hour period at about noon.  The park was great and I tried some new stuff today.  Hopefully Breck gets Peak 9 and the halfpipe open like they are supposed too...
