A polar vortex may be with us in a few weeks so things could change quickly:

I've been watching this from a different perspective as I have friends that ski in Utah (Deer Valley) and Vancouver (Whistler). This year a La Nina is in place which is also driving where the snow/rain falls across the US.

If the pattern does not change, Pacific Northwest skiing will be the best with Colorado and Utah not so great and resorts farther south dismal. To date, it has followed exactly this model - Whistler 230 inches to date // Deer Valley 77

Also as the enclosed suggests for the North East specifically, while other factors could come into play (Polar Vortex) if the La Nina effects control the playbook alone - it looks to be a lack of snow here until it subsides. When that will be, no one seems to know.

Nothing like a $15K snowmobile sitting in the trailer .....
