Been seeing click bait on Facebook listing out closed ski resorts due to lack of snow, but I feel like I've heard of more. If your local resort is closed due to lack of snow post it here.

Not closed but it probably should be. It's been above freezing for the past week

My resort hasn't hit freezing in two weeks, and it hit mid 70s for 3 days.

SnowCreek: Weston, MO.

If you'd like a good chuckle... Here's my local spot. Still open, but the live snow cams are hilarious.

Less than a foot of natural snow this year. It's tragic.

NC has been cold as SHIT but we haven't gotten as much snow as usual. Where I live hasn't gotten any at all, the ski areas all have only about 30 inches of natural so far. Lets hope February kicks it up a notch, we got a few huge snows last Feb...I can only hope

Good to know was thinking of going there soon but will give it 2 weeks at least. Hows Banff doing?

Summit at snoqualmie definitely closed, Crystal mountain is still open, but the base looks like dirt at its 40 degrees right now. This winter isn't looking good

Good Lord. Are you talking about a ski resort or a tropical resort in the Bahamas?

My area up in New Hampshire has a ton of snow we just got a big storm and I'm taking a trip to whistler in February but before this the conditions were shit. The problem is climate change, so do something to try and change it, or soon there maybe no snow at all.

I couldn't imagine being all stoked for ski season again and then there's not enough snow to even open. That would suck. Sosososos bad. I seriously feel sorry for you guys that have to deal with that

Nope. South Dakota. Land of the buffalo and bipolar weather.
