nah we've been pretty spoiled the past couple of seasons, especially two years ago where we were skiing well before December.  All the ol timers seem to say that opening before turkey day was unheard of for the most part, let alone november at all, so whatever.
The really bad season was somewhat like this, but I think what sets this apart is, during that season, resorts in places like California were getting shit on while we were not. Like mentioned in other threads, even last season seemed "late" because we really didn't get sizable snow until this time in December. So if we have to wait a touch longer, so be it! But my work is starting to suffer so I need snow
