That is not true. A bad year in the PNW means its too warm to keep the resorts open and you get more rain than snow.
Utah has a 400 inch guarantee? Don't make me laugh. Utah has terrible years all the time, Kev.
FYI, you doof, Alta has been below 400 inches five out of the last ten years. Five of the last seven years have been below 400 inches with two abysmal sub-300 years. Utah is the schizo of snowfall. Incredible snow one year, mediocrity the next.Last edited by neckdeep; 10-10-2018 at 10:37 AM.

An average year would be ok in Missoula, I guess. The problem runs into when we have above average temps. Missoula is not very high. That can mean icy in town, like usual when it defrosts during the day and freezing at nice, but it can also mean that + rain at our local ski hills.

My preliminary winter outlook for Winter 2018-19 is now out.
https://longrangesnowcenter.blogspot...emisphere.html
An abstract of my outlook. Full details in link above.
"So in summary, my forecast is for a rapidly descending to positive QBO, weak-moderate basin-wide El Niño with perhaps some weird atmospheric feedback, neutral/slightly +PDO, strong -EPO, a -AO and -NAO and a much further south than usual Aleutian Low. Also some potential Scandi blocking, and blocking over the Barents-Kara Sea."

ENSO Alert System Status: El Niño Watch
Synopsis:El Niñois favored to form in the next couple of months andcontinue through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2018-19 (70-75%chance).
ENSO-neutral continued during September, but withincreasingly more widespread regions of above-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across theequatorial PacificOcean (Fig. 1). Over the last month, all four Niño index values increased, with the latest weekly values in each region near +0.7C(Fig. 2). Positive subsurface temperature anomalies (averaged across 180°-100°W) also increased during the last month(Fig. 3), due to the expansion and strengtheningofabove-average temperaturesat depthacrossthe equatorial Pacific (Fig. 4).Convection was increasingly suppressed over Indonesia and around theDate Line (Fig. 5). Low-level westerly wind anomalies were evident over the western and east-central Pacific,with some of the strongest anomalies occurring over the eastern Pacific duringthe past week. Upper-level wind anomalieswere easterly over the east-central Pacific. Overall, the oceanic and atmosphericconditionsreflected ENSO-neutral, but withrecent trends indicative of a developing El Niño. The majority of models in theIRI/CPC plume predict El Niñoto formduring the fall and continuethrough the winter(Fig. 6). The official forecastfavorsthe formation of a weak El Niño, consistent withthe recent strengthening of westerly wind anomalies and positive temperature trends in the surface and subsurface ocean. In summary, El Niño is favored to form in the next couple of months and continue through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2018-19 (70-75% chance;click CPC/IRI consensus forecastfor the chance of each outcome for each 3-monthperiod). This discussion is a consolidated effort of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA’s National Weather Service, and their funded institutions. Oceanic and atmospheric conditions are updated weekly on the Climate Prediction Center web site (El Niño/La Niña Current Conditions and Expert Discussions). Forecasts are also updated monthly in the Forecast Forumof CPC's Climate Diagnostics Bulletin. Additional perspectives and analysis are also available in an ENSO blog. The next ENSO Diagnostics Discussion is scheduled for 8November2018. To receive an e-mail notification when the monthly ENSO Diagnostic Discussions are released, please send an e-mail message to: ncep.list.enso-update@noaa.gov.

Finally precipitating
El Nino or? Not sure what that means anymore. I'm just glad it finally started raining in the PNW!

And my final one is now available:https://longrangesnowcenter.blogspot.com/2018/11/north-american-winter-outlook-2018-19.html
Extract:
- I forecast California to have an above average snowfall season.
- I forecast Colorado/Utah/NM/AZ to have an average, maybe even slightly above average snowfall season
- I forecast the PNW and BC to have a below average snowfall season.
- I forecast the Eastern US (New England and Mid Atlantic) to have a moderately-strongly above average snowfall season, particularly in December and February
