Our home hill actually opened on time but closed this week so they could blow snow due to the warm week we had but from here on out its classic MN cold temps!

My home hill has yet to open but I've gotten two days at troll. Looks like somewhat colder temps the middle of this week, don't want to get my hopes too high though..

Three days at Granite Peak so far. First two were a lot of fun, but the same three runs get boring when you aren't much of a park skier.

Can't wait until they get the chutes and trees open. Might be around February but I send'er in those things. Trying to stay positive until mid-January. If there isn't any snow by then, I'll drive out west or take a trip to Mount Bohemia if they get snow.

Hill has not opened yet, I have skied one day at Alpine and 1 day at Little Switz
2 days total and it is December 13th...
I have been ignoring what day it is until now and realized how late winter has been and now I'm super worried.

South Eastern WI, was looking hopeful for this coming week with 3 days to blow snow. Forecast changed and now all above 40. Snowed 10 inches before thanksgiving now nothing. Midwest is getting absolutely shit on. Thankfully Tyrol Basin has been open a bit. Granite Peak I think is doing ok. Can anyone confirm conditions at Granite?

I live 20 minutes away and I didn't even bother going there today. It's been raining all day and there is a 100% chance for the next two days. The runs were getting pretty narrow when I was there on Thursday. It's not worth the drive right now.

Looks like they could make snow all day Friday and Saturday. Next weekend should be good.

We've had decembers with no snow but it's usually at least cold enough to make it! I'm starting to get pretty worried, all the resorts up north closed today and wont be able to make snow till next weekend. Thats if the forcast doesn't change. Looks like I'm gonna have to build a summer setup...

Ive been stuck in Columbus Ohio for the past few months and DAMN, it sucks right now. Its been in the low 70s for the past 2 or 3 days here! After 5 season at Jackson Hole, this is fucking killing me! I grew up skiing Wisconsin, so the midwest scene has a spot in my heart and I want to check out the local hill here!

Granite Peak is going to be fucking dope by January if Accuweather is right. I'm getting excited! Just a few more shitty days before winter shifts into gear.

Lots of temps below 28 at night, they will be pumping out snow!

Going to Aspen over winter break thank god. I don't know how long I can take this, I've skied one day so far. Chestnut mountain in Galena,IL should have 3 solid days of snow making. Same with raging buffalo which is in Algonquin Illinois.

Thursday,Friday, and Saturday are supposed to be pretty cold, friday with only a high of 29!

If it makes you feel better, February has been pretty awful in Utah too. I think there was one storm at the beginning of the month and it's been in the 40s and 50s almost every day, so most of the snowpack is gonezo

This is the part where El Nino fucks all of us over. Mt. Hood lost more than 30 inches of base the last week and a half and it doesn't look like it's going to get much better.
