Our hill opened yesterday with the terrain park and 1 run open.  Terrain park had like six boxes, a mini rainbow rail, a 20 footer, and some several random piles of snow turned into makeshift jumps.

Not even making snow yet. We had a one foot snowstorm last week and it's almost all melted now too.

 Jay peak and killington in Vermont say they have about 50 or so inches so far total and a base of about 20 inches each ... killington also boasts 61 open trails but that mainly includes little conecting trails and upper/middle/lower *whatever* as three open trails

Mt. Hood Meadows has no snow and it doesn't look like it will be here anytime soon. Kinda sucks. Hiked Mt. Bachelor last weekend but they are losing their snow too.

Bristol has been awesome. No park and it will probably be that way for a while but there are a few jibs scattered across the mountian and a couple rails setup. Good year so far. Normally they're not even open by meow.

No snow, at all. And I live in the PNW, BC to be exact. Last season our jib park opened on November 15th, this season its November 29th, and we have no fucking snow, at all.

grouse = no snow, probably not opening until after xmas.
whistler blackcomb = thin base, but good coverage on runs and decent jib parks.

None of the resorts in my state are even open. I hiked my home mountain today and there was about a foot at the top of one of the lower lifts. Was raining all day. Fuck this weather, im gonna rage soon.

open with park
double kink flat rail, 40 foot pipe thing, 30 foot flat box, 36 foot down rail (round), c rail, small 10 foot ish round bar, up box/launch off deal, barrel bonk...  ...no jumps yet, but very soon.
 this would be at perfect north slopes.... located in indiana.... best hill in the midwest.

that fact that we are open with jibs before some of you guys out west just boggles my mind lol.

Three runs/two lifts
No park setup, but a few decent rider-made things (mostly made from piles of freshly blown snow)
Snowcross (There are 1,000,000,000,000 slednecks there, but at least we get as much free Monster as we can drink without our hearts going out of rhythm)
