Last year did not hit till late December.
Try waiting to working at a ski hill with no snow and none in sight.

Just a little FYI. I took some data from alta's website and found out some interesting facts. Over the last 4 years Alta has ony recorded 4.5 inches of snow for the days of the 15th through the 24th of November. Thats all 4 years combined. But then it has snowed on the 27th every year, and 2 years it snowed 19.5 inches and 25.5 inches on that day. the other days it snowed 5 inches and 7 inches, but the year it snowed 5 inches it also snowed on the 26th 22 inches. So get ready for a thanksgiving weekend ride if this year is anything like the previous years. Bad news is last year it never snowed over 8 inches until the 7th of december. So we should be thankful for what we have had so far.

this year was supposed to be different. i thought obama would have had that global warming fixed. what about his promises!

 

[b1dodge]

im not complaining. iv put 100 miles on my new sled the last two weekends but after being up over 10000 feet and in the mid 40s sun. i dont think i will be riding again untill we see more snow. but we are much better off now then this time last year.

Its been my experience that early valley snow bring in a hard inversion through december so just be patient. Best years come from later snow sometimes.

I would mostly agree with that except for the year of 04-05. In october Alta had 122" that month and it turned out to be one of the biggest years in history. 700 + inches up there that year if you take into account may snow. Alta always closes in April but it snowed alot in may as well.

That year ruined any patience I once had. Oh was that an epic year.

Rode every week from Oct. 15th to June 30th

Too bad we don't have a year like that one every year huh. Oh yeah that was a great year. Needs to happen again real soon.
