Yesterday I skiied mid-thigh deep pow, in upstate NY, off the marked trail. First tracks, at 4:00 PM! I saw one or two other tracks in the woods, but they were old (snowed in)

The east coast is getting BLASTED! More snow on Sunday!

maybe try and start something to clean the west coast pollution up then because the reason the west has no snow is because of global warming and in fact the east is experiencing less effects of global warming so if you want snow try to make some changes in your lifestyle to help fix climate change every bit helps.

Little bit each day, but by Tuesday morning we'll see another foot-plus of fluff.

Get it before the reality of midwinter rain returns!

Western New York Has gotten 150 inches so far in some areas. And probably more at our hills. It's been an incredible season thus far.

Really? Then Tell me what other plausiable explanation their is, please, tell me. Because the reason the west is in such a large drought is because of climate change. Now this is no proven fact but it is highly supported. Climate change alters the jet stream which means more persipitation on the east and less on the west, resulting in the west coast drought, or in other words less snow for the west and more for the east. Don't believe me yet? http://www.climatecentral.org/gallery/graphics/climate-change-the-jet-stream And I'm not saying that it's the west coasts fault I'm saying that people just need to realize this now more than ever so we get more snow.

When people say there's "no snow" do they actually mean there's none, or just not much? Also are there actually any resorts that can't/ aren't open due to the lack of snow?

everything on a coast range is closing. Literally. there is no more season in most parts.

Windells is going to be forced to cancel most of their sessions, Whistler camps are going to cancel most of thier sessions.

It is PISSING rain for the next 3 days, it was PISSING rain for the past 3 days, and a ridge of high pressure thats on steroids is building in over the west coast starting Tuesday.

It is a full reset to early september conditions. And nothing will have a chance to change until atleast early march.

Its really, really bad. Washington is full on fucked because they don't have any infrastructure to protect against drought the way that CA does and both rely on snowpack.

Shit is really bad out here.

Karma! We finally get pow and the westies get nada! Sorry for sounding like a dick, but all I hear is that "You just have to go out west, the skiing is soooo much better." And now the east is getting pow and good skiing, and people are actually coming out here to ski. My prayers have been answered.

Well my home resort snoqualmie is only open because they guarantee a 100 day season. There are rivers running through the middle of the runs and every hour or two an area of snow collapses and makes a giant sinkhole of snow.

Aaand we're getting 5-11" of rain this weekend
