We all know that it's way too warm in the east right now, but there's nothing we can do about it. It isn't global warming, because the last 2 winters were above average. This one will just probably be below average. We might have to wait until January or later for more snow, but I see about 10 different threads complaining about it everyday. I'm not happy either, but just stop complaining. The snow will come

LbirdWe're having a normal winter this year in the West, last year there was like 20% of our normal snowfall but you didn't see us crying about it on ns every day.


Yes, but 20% of your average snowfall was still in the triple digits. Mountains out west were still topping every single eastern mountain in snowfall last season.

Its mid December and there are about to be zero places to ski west of the Rockies if this continues much longer.

Way to think positive and look for the best in situations. We all always wish we had more snow, but it comes and goes. Just keep having fun and the snow will come.

The people who deserve sympathy right now are those east coasters who work in the industry and are tied down to those mountains b/c of their job on/near the mountain. Its rotten and unfair on the employees. Feel bad for kids who race/compete through there school as their winter sport and can't get on snow as well.


There should be threads of people car pooling out west during their break not people crying and feeling sorry for themselves just embrace it and go ski real mountains you normally wouldn't. Gas is cheap right now.

Working in marketing right now is shit.

You don't understand how many emails we are getting asking for refunds(which we can't do lols) and attacking us for no snow. LIKE CHILL OUT LADY WE DONT CONTROL THE DAMN SNOW.It's so frustrating, no one understands.

And all those people who paid early for accommodation for the holiday season did so because they got a good deal by booking early and if they booked right now during a good season with plenty of snow by the Xmas break the prices would be DOUBLE whatever they paid.



Not to mention bothering a third party entity like you is moronic if its over lift tickets and not hotels if the skiing is bad you can ALWAYS go to guest services and while they might not refund you they will ALWAYS give you a rain check for a free ticket at a future date provided you ask for one before noon and not at 415.
