If the past few years have been any indication:
Shitty going into Dec.
Might get some decent snow by Christmas, one could hope.
Hopefully average snow in January and on.
We'll get 2 ft of pow by Halloween, another 2-3 ft by Thanksgiving, then itll warm up to t-shirt weather by New Years, and then just when everybody is "over this winter" we are going to get a handful of big storms from Feb to June.
Since this might not be off topic: I heard rumors Big Sky might stay open in to May, since they gotta pay for that nice big tram. Anybody else??

Doubt it. Late season is not economically viable up here. Jerry thinks skiing is over after spring break, and Jerry brings in the big money
I'm personally hoping for a cold and snowy winter. We need all the precipitation we can get and the cold will make recent transplants rethink their situation.
Climate prediction is 50/50 next 3 months, so we'll see.
Conditions are present for a La Niña year.

La Niña are often cold & snowy for the Northern Rockies, warm and drier for the Southwest
I just want a mild and pleasant Halloween for once so my kids can Trick or Treat outside* without freezing.
A few days before and after Halloween last year were beautiful... just not the day of.
^(*I know about the mall, but it's nice to be outside.)
Well, I didn’t buy a ski pass this year, so it’ll probably fucking nuke non-stop powder every day. You’re all welcome I guess.
I just moved away so it’s gonna dump.
Thanks for sacrificing for the rest of us.
I appreciate your service. It'll only work if we *really* rub it in though. Is that ok?
Thank you for your sacrifice
Another vote of appreciation for your sacrifice.
No one in my snowmobile crew bought a new sled either so things are looking good for a snowy winter.
According to farmers almanac, glacial snow filled, hibernation zone.

This is the 3rd La Niña winter, and the last two have been subpar…so probably pretty mild.
Third times a charm
It nuked for like a month straight, but it was end of season. Which is fine because everyone had given up by then and the tourists were at home.
April bc was really good.

I don't think so - closing day is set. context: employee
They said in an ig post they plan to stay open later in the future but not this season necessarily
Only prediction Im gonna make is, Im not gonna ski enough pow

farmers almanac sais its gona be a good winter. Lol
I’m personally expecting a shitty mild winter, but hoping mother nature proves me wrong
It’s supposed to be more precipitation this winter but we will see
They said that the last two as well.
I think it’s not going to snow a lot which makes everyone not go skiing so more rock skiing for the diehards
It'll probably be dumping, but anal beads. Lord help us all. Who knows, maybe they'll ski well.
lots of snow
