Europe does have a lot of snow but high winds blew all the snow off the face Linecatcher was supposed to be on. Vars doesn't get that much wind but that face is mega exposed if there was a storm so it seems pretty likely that it has none and the guys are having tons of fun in the trees on the other side of the mountain.
...so, what does the cancellation of this year's Linecatcher have anything to do with last year's Nine Knights? Or Europe's "banner" year for that matter?
