All I want for Christmas is seasonal temperatures - Snowboarding Forum

Seriously what is the deal with this weather? it was over 50* here yesterday and POURED down rain. I know Tussey is crap but it's 10 min door to door from my house and they might as well have nothing as the Utah is now barely a strip of white on it. They will have to start from scratch but we need some temps below freezing...at night at least?

Knowing that EVERYWHERE charges holiday rates all week next week...is there any place worth a 3 hour drive from the middle of PA?

ya this is a pretty depressing start. Im in North Central WV here, got a day in at Snowshoe on Monday not much open but enough to have fun with and little park run with a box 2 rails and a small kicker. Kept us busy from open to close, but I'd like the closer to home resorts to start opening up.

Oh boy...there is frost this morning...it must have gotten below freezing last night.

It's been plenty cold over on the west coast, just no snow or rain, I live about an hour from Tahoe and it was 28 degrees this morning.

Take a trip to the southwest, or drive up to Killington.

Wife, two kids, Christmas, relatives visiting. Can't do any big trips. I would love to get up to VT/NH but it is tough because everyone boards except my 2 yr old.

The bulk of my riding is the local dinky slope.

Yea weather has been very weak for the most part. Might have to take a trip up to VT to get some real boarding on.

Well the temps are more seasonable today...I suppose. Currently 38* with the forecasted high to be 37* (These guys are wizards)...90% chance of heavy rain...we are supposed to get another inch of rain today and then more this evening before it changes to snow...with no significant accumulation.

I'm getting sick of this...everywhere I have checked has been less than 50% open and charging full holiday pricing. BOOO!!!
