I'm saying it's really bad right now. The chart illustrates I'm right. I've been riding this year. I can confirm that it is indeed really bad and not worth the effort to go.
What is it you're arguing? It could be just dirt? Okay. I acknowledge that it could be so bad and warm they wouldn't even be able to make snow. That doesn't mean we aren't off to a bad - and below average - start to the season. And this bad start is on the heels of a season that was firmly in the bottom 25% of years.
You're talking absolute nonsense for no reason whatsoever. Just look at the basic facts, guy, hah.

You were saying this year was the worst possible. It isn't. On average 25% of the years will have less snow than this year at this time of the year.
Does it suck? Yes, it does. But then everywhere usually sucks this time of the year. Even in good years the good terrain still sucks in November, and often will suck through to January.
I would suggest your expectation for early season snow does not match probabilistic realities of snowfall.
If you factor in that this is an el nino year, then most people are expecting that this will be a low snowfall year all winter long.
I am assuming we will be below the 25th percentile all winter long because we are in an el nino year. I hope i'm wrong, but I'm not banking on great pow days this year.
