So far it seems to be nationwide. We got nothing out west as well. I hiked Meadows today and it was pathetic. Every year it gets worse, but up untill this year, we were always in full operation on Thanksgiving. As it stands now, Meadows is going to partially open 2 runs and employees are not alowed to ride on our passes to try to keep the runs open for customers...I teach on Friday so this will be interesting to see what happens and if we will stay open next week.
If this keeps up, I am headed back to Arizona, for the only reason I stay in the Northwest is for snowboarding. Other than that, I don`t like living in this aera. I will get back into canyoneering down in the red rocks again.

Hopefully next season will be the best season in 200 years, because if the past 2 seasons have been shitty like this then the snowgods must be cooking something up.

You have got to check this out. I said a few times in the past how I found a company online to make snow before it falls from the sky to help me practice in the yard. Well I contacted them a few times over the summer and was able to come up with the perfect set up for my house. I’m stoked! I’m already on my board and jibbing in my backyard! I made snow 2x’s this week already, the temperatures are already cold enough to make snow, can you believe it! The ski resorts are not all up and running in our area, and they normally aren’t ready until late December. (Although one or 2 have taken advantage of the temperatures…) But with this snowmaker, I have my own ski resort, and backyard terrain park. By the time the ball really gets rolling, (and before everyone else!!!) I’ll be ready for the slopes. I’m coming out full force this year! Here are links to 2 of the U-Tube videos from the company I’m dealing with. I don’t want to sound like an advertisement, but these people were great, and if I was offered the chance to perform in their new rail jam… I’d jump at it! There are tons of videos from them, and they have their rail jam also on the site and on u-tube. YouTube - DC Mtn Lab 1.5 rare behind the scenes footage
YouTube - SNOWatHOME's ultimate winter lifestyle I’ll update more when I really get things on a roll. But again, no better way to practice, I don’t know what I ever did without it!. Now my parents and neighbors want to borrow it for Holiday decorating and making snow in their yards. WOW the attention I’m attracting!! Had 15 neighborhood kids in the back yard from 9am this morning till now, well, there still there, I'm just cold and wet in front of the fire, trying to come up with another rail idea. I’m stoked! My yard is fenced in, but everyone seems to see the snow flying around above the fence line! I can’t say enough about it. I have my own winter wonderland!! I’ll update soon. I want to post on U-Tube myself, but I would rather be the boarder, not the one holding the camera!!

rgrwilco · 11-25-2007, 06:44 PM

is that a joke? i have my own snow machine and trust me, the resorts will open before you can make enough to ride. and its quite costly to make snow

Nikolai · 11-25-2007, 10:22 PM

i wouldnt worry to much about that..wheather men are always wrong...weather is almost impossible to predict...especially so far in advance

snow_biff · 11-30-2007, 02:06 PM

Beleive it. I made enough snow in CT on Friday after Thanksgiving to board for 2 days, along with family and nieghbors! It was amazing! I'm so STOKED! AND, not a resort or MT open for hundreds of miles!! It is possible. Check out the U-Tube Videos. Mine will be up soon. I Got more bloopers on video than anything else, but wow, every picture tells a story, and you won't find one on my entire camera that doesn't show a smile!!

I'll be making snow every night this week as well! I'm boarding before anyone around here! SNOWatHOME's ultimate winter lifestyle
