The snow is lower than average this year but great powder is to be found. If you think on your approach that the snow is not here just look for it and you will find quality riding. There is no real bottom so if you are riding the powder don't let go of the throttle unless you don't mind doing a little digging. There are less people out there this year and you may have more fun than in the past and you can find places that you otherwise may never get to. Have fun and be safe.
