No surprise but I think this will be a no-ski season for the local mountains. Clear AR pattern turns into a retrograding ridgefest in the long range.

Looks like the local ski resorts should consider moving their operations to the Similkameeeeens.

Let’s not get to doom and gloom. There still is snow if you really want it although you may need to work a little harder for it. We live in BC and fortunately the mountains are tall.

This is Taylor Meadows in Garibaldi on Nov 18. About 80cm at 1500meters.

Need the doom and gloom to clear out so I can do a mow. I'm hopeful I can mow this December.
