Opening day at sunshine this year was the most powder i have skied. But catskiing this weekend at mustang should make up for the lack of pow at the resorts this year.

dont complain, vermont has the best skiing on the east coast. think about it. you get powder, i like in connecticut, we get either wet snow, or a complete mix, vermont is great, not as good as some powder out west, but the best over here, so, ya

California has been insane. My resort seemed to get hit the hardest out of the whole state in a lot of the big storms which was great. I skied 11 feet of pow and it's unbelievable. I've logged more pow days this year than ever before. I haven't rode park the past few weeks because the snow has been so prime. I love El Nino. To all you kids who back in July-October kept talking about how there would be a very small El Nino with little to no effects, fuck you. Did want to tell you guys you were wrong in any of the threads because karma would make my pow season shit, but I knew it would end up like this. Now that I said that, no more snow will fall, but that's cool because I want to ride some Spring park.
