    Hard to say there. I can say that when we pulled out my wife's old family photos from the 80s/90s over Christmas every single winter shot from their house in Holladay had feet of snow on the ground. You never see that any more. Last year was a good year, 600" at Alta, but we never had more than 8-12" on the ground at the house.
    I don't disagree, but also think selective memory is a serious problem when we all think about previous seasons.

    I would go with the latter for the cooler temps.

    not for me personally, but I've only been in the wasatch 11 years now. Even when most call it a "bad season" its still better than most ski resorts in North America, but this season is much different.

    Well yes, but the heat is so strong in Australia it's melting roads.

    Really though, if you do any alpine climbing this has been something people have known about for decades. The glaciers have all shrunk dramatically, and the mountains are more and more unstable.

    We had 3-4 feet on the ground several times last winter in Ogden. That's at least the second time in the last 10 years. But yeah, the point stands, things are changing. I'm losing hope that the bc access up here will come into shape at all this year.

    I think fullstack is totally right J. With the coming nuclear winter the Earth's natural cycles will continue as they always have.

    On the plus side, it pissed rain at Squaw the past couple days, and now the temp is 29* and windy. But according to the emails I keep getting from them, it's snowed 9" in the past week and it's gonna be sick out there!

    There are some ice skates for sale in gear swap. Somebody get those out at squaw and turn the butthurt into stoke.

    Stop being a pessimistic ass hole. It's gonna snow 14", I-70 will get shut down at least 4 times and summit county is going to be an EPIC cluster fuck.

    Oops, didn't look at the date on the rain at squaw post. I'm sure there's another hill in this thread that has good ice skating conditions.

    My first trip of the season, serious props to the snow making crew at Mammoth. If they didn't make snow it would have been brutal. With 5" or so inches over night, it was fun but still super thin coverage in lots of spots. I can't believe how bad the coverage sucks for the 20th of January.

    I wonder if we'll still be sliding on snow 20,000 - 100,000 years from now. I'm still waiting on the flux capacitor
