Long Term Winter Forecasts 2023 - 2024

I disagree. It's average. That's what the average is, so it's not above average or below average.

Gore is actually pretty good on this IMO.

For years they used 150" as their marketing average, and it was probably true a some point. 150 vs 125 is not a huge difference between marketing average and actual average.

Now (in the last two years) Gore has been using 125 in marketing.

Do you describe every other mountain with a 120 average as putrid? The only hills in NY truly above that number are probably WF, McCauley, Snow Ridge, PeeknPeak, who else? Holiday?

How much did Stratton report last year against their 180 marketing average? How many times have they hit that number in the last 10 years? The only source I could find wasn't credible.

Objectively, it is putrid. I am sure Stratton's is putrid also. The point being is that natural snowfall has declined noticeably in my lifetime. It is disappointing. On the positive side, snowmaking has increased and the snowmaking tech is producing better man made snow.

I see, it was more of a big picture comment, not Gore specific.

Yeah.
Powder days are hard to come by here in the east. My life has changed over the last few years so I can grab more mid-week powder days. Greedily, I just wish there were more powder days.

I'm hoping a life change can help me counteract, for a while.
