negative nancy over here.

if most hills are open by christmas it's an average season. I wasn't in ontario last season but I don't think my local hill opened up until late december and then had great conditions until april.

If I am negative and they have a shit season, I wont be sad because I expected it. If I am positive and we have a shit season I will be sad.

Negative = win win

Or just be neutral and go with the weather. No point in stressing about the weather, it accomplishes nothing.

Besides: Growing up in Ontario, I'd say that close to 50% of the time we wouldn't really be skiing till the holidays. (I remember a few boxing day openings even).

Its just hard to go from a nov 27th opening to a December 20th. You feel?

I'm super stoked to get on the hills (especially because this year i got new equipment), but the weather does suck. It's really hard to swallow a delay in opening day, especially since our west coast peeps are already skiing, but that doesn't mean we can deduce that the season is gonna be shit :P. If Hidden Valley is opening this weekend, I may just make the drive and ski what miserable terrain that may be open, just to get rid of summer blue balls.

last year at this time in Ottawa we had 20cm of snow already. This year I can still get around wearing light flannel and not being cold. I'm really hoping it starts snowing soon

Are you talking about pakenham? I only went once and they had the shitty park on the quad side. Did they ever really open a full park?
