1 in 4 is very common. You should never be surprised by a 25% probability.
So it's strange you are so surprised by the snowpack at Louise, as it's a pretty regular occurrence.
I don't know anybody who was expecting a good snow year. Starting in July they were saying it was an El Nino year, which is also pretty predictable. We should expect less snow and higher temps. Not a good ski year.
I feel like your baseline expectation is a fairly rare event (maybe it's a 1/10 seasons).
So longtime Louise skiers have said here that your expectations are way off, and none of us are upset by the lack of snow right now, as it's what we expect as normal.

Well, I bought my pass in April, so July's El Nino warnings didn't help me.
I'm a long-time Louise local as well. Lived and worked at the hill in 94-95, too, so I think I know a bit about the hill and the snow it gets.
This is a below average year so far. It is coming after a below average year last year.
Go ahead and zen out on the crap snow all you want. Those of us with standards for riding that go beyond fake snow mixed in with rocks are allowed to be disappointed in another season that is off to a very rough start.
Have you forgotten West Bowl didn't even open last year? Tree skiing was mediocre last year? And here we are again with no snow.
Idk, maybe if you just like cruising down main runs this is fine. You are completely out of touch with reality to be perplexed at somebody annoyed at the 13th month in a row of poor riding conditions, though.
