Why I hate the East Coast.

Well all of you skiers in the west are enjoying your early season with lots of snow, out East we have none all. No snow has fallen all the hills that were suppose to open this week in my area are pushing it back again for the second time. Now the earliest I may ski is December 5th and with all the upcoming rain the arena snow is depleting. I just needed to get that out... I envy all the skiers in the west right now.
It's so much better East Coast = Cold Temperatures , Very little snow and even on a good year it still doesn't top an average season out west. Just needed to show my hate for where I live.

i'm glad i seized the opportunity to ski last weekend, otherwise i'd be super pissed right now

seriously no snow has fallen, everything is green everywhere

i mean it could be worse, but it would be difficult

east coasters are whiners, you have mountains and powder.

mw has 30-35in snow a year and 300ft vertical garbage piles.

build a rail, buy some turf, and go skiing

i think in the two months i've lived in washington it's snowed more than the entire 22 years i lived on the east coast. so while i can sympathize with how much it sucks to be on the east, do whatever it takes to make the move when you get the chance. you won't regret it.

being born and raised and being able to ski out west in legit mountains and stuff is such a priviledge, i don't even know how much different my life would be if i was raised somewhere outside the midwest.

i'm sick and tired of hearing everyone say that the east coast breeds better skiers and that location has nothing to do with it. 

false. 
the core or progressing is hard work and perseverance, but if you don't have the amenities on which to apply your skills, you won't get very far.

would wallisch be any where near as good as he is if he had stayed at wisp, MD?
hell no.

My thoughts exactly. Chill out, let the weather do its thing. You will be skiing in a couple weeks, just have some patience and watch all your ski movies again. Get stoked, winter's coming!

Have some pride for the east man. Im so glad i grew up in vt skiing the east, but also very glad i moved west because, well everything you said. My favorite people to ski with now that i live in co are from the east because we have tend to have such a better appreciation for the snow and i love and miss the east coast vibe and mentality. If your tired of the conditions take the initiative to move west when ya can, don't know what your situation is. Until then just enjoy whatever skiing ya can get, SKI THE EAST!!!

Western Norway here. It's still green as shit here. I feel you're pain. Hovever, it'll apparently get colder soon, and hopefully we'll get some snowmaking going. Hopefully i'll be skiing in a couple of weeks time.

My home mountain was planning on opening Dec. 5 and now it plans on opening the 12th, which is a day earlier than it did last year.  That made me so pumped becasue we had a 3 good pow days in December last year, and this is in CT. I'm just pissed because I think I was expecting too much of northern VT going to UVM as a freshman.  I figured it would have been cold a month ago and there would be snow on the ground.  Sucks that Stowe isn't open yet but I got to ski Killington the weekend before last and that pumped me up a ton for the season to start.

hmm I'd probably still take last year's winter over what we have now. At least last year the season actually started and ski hills could fully open. We even had some pow to go crazy with and get rid of the terrible skiing angst that's been building up all summer. But what do we have now? nothing. This is terrible.

starting early next week in southern/central vt the high won't go above like 30 so even if we don't get natty snow the mtns should be able to keep the guns on for like 10 days straight causing a lot of openings in this area

also 100% chance precip at jay this weekend, 7-11 inches called for

Wow after reading through this I guess I shouldn't be complaining. My mountain is at 2116 feet and this really small one close to my house is only 280ft and that is tiny for me. W'ell lets just hope it snows for all of us and we can all get skiing as quick as possible

Be gratefull you live in a country where you can ski and have easy access to it. Seriously there is always someone worse off than you so if you dont like it do something about it and move west, I can understand if your younger or whatever but if it bothers you that much move out when your older.

I wont get to ski untill December 15th if I'm lucky and my visa arrives on time otherwise its going to be about Christmas time. Plus I have to pay a shitload of money and go through so much crap and work at a resort just to get to ski more than a week a year.

So shut the fuck up.

I love the East Coast, I just don't want to live there anymore.

don't worry Tahoe has very little snow right now too. I'll rub it in your face in February

Well I would like to bump my own thread for one reason.
Snow has hit the East Coast and Cold Weather all week!
Finally winter has come.
