mother nature can be a unpredictable bitch sometimes. we've had shitty winters before, within the past 10 years in fact...people are just going nuts because of all this 2012 business.
be thankful that we have the resources and technology to make snow. nearly everyone by now has had a chance to get their home mountains open due to snowmaking, if we didn't have it, we wouldn't be skiing at all. thanks to terrain parks most of us all at least have some rails to slide around on too and keep us busy. we may not getting dumped on, we might have a few wobbly rails instead of jump lines, and there might be a bunch of bare spots everywhere but at least there's snow on the hill and the lifts are spinning. go out and have fun. stimulate our economy by supporting our industry. skiing needs you now more than ever.
