Agreed on the skiing in the rain thing, I was getting 6 pack chairs (on a brand new lift) to myself at noon on a Saturday today at Highlands

Mount Kato is open for the season, if you want to update the resort guide.

I feel so bad for a lot of our hills like Ripley who put forward a good effort toward snowmaking in late nov only to see it get washed away with recent rains and warmer temps. Nubs is in great shape considering the circumstances tho.

Unfortunately that's the game; huge props to them though, for pushing. Always great to see that!

It will snow during the middle of April.
