Cuse is at 20 inches.
Last year at this time it was 20 inches.
It ain’t over till it’s over.

How does this 2022-2023 CNY winter season so far compare to the past three seasons?

SYRACUSE, N.Y.- As the saying

Yeah, I think it’s really time for passionate skiers to consider how much longer they want to stay in the east.

I’m usually a “It’s still early”, “Plenty of season left”, “March is historically the snowiest month” guy, but I’m not sure I can count on February/March anymore.

And without February/March, there really is no ski season in the east.

Skiing white ribbons of death with a bunch of drunk/stoned maniacs is not my idea of fun. I do it early in the season to get my legs a workout, but at some point, I really like to get into the trees & BC, away from the masses. Resorts are (correctly) scrambling to reblow the connector trails they lost to the warmth/rain, so it’s hard for them to lay down base on new trails (and get that sweet blowover into the trees). This pattern looks likely to continue for a little while longer.

At least out west, there is plenty of room for the drunk/stoned maniacs to spread out. And honestly, I just wished for snowmaking blowover so that the trees can get a decent base before a 2”-8” storm. I feel like I’m hoping for a little potato chunk in my gruel so I can get a tiny lift of happiness & say “well, it isn’t all terrible!” Pretty pathetic, honestly.

Maybe I'm not passionate enough. I'm not moving west.

Are you moving?

Yeah, in a couple of years.

Gotta find a good spot (and now I have to take different things into account… things like school districts).
