Think what NA should look like in late December....

 

[Jenny]

Ohhh, that sucks!

 

[AJM]

Yikes - Porter Heights?

Sadly yes but most of the ski areas are looking similar .... waiting to see what this week brings, there's a storm system coming apparently. Its still considered early over here but we'd normally have more snow than that at this time of year. Fingers and toes crossed !!

It should be covered in snow but the weather gods had a different idea, Opening was supposed to be last Friday 23rd but that didnt happen When I think of how much we had this time last year its unbelievable that it looks like this.

We were spoilt last year as the season started very well AND early - usually there's a degree of reliance on snowmaking to open in the early season, but I recall ridiculous powder days in mid July, and decent snow pretty much the whole way through to October.

I do feel like this is particularly dire as most of the skifields have their busiest weeks during the upcoming school holiday which is starting earlier this year (July 3 rather than July 11) so will miss out on a lot of revenue if they can't open.
