And You Think The Snow’s Bad Out West

By Rocky Thompson on December 29th, 2011

While ski resorts in the west deal with a bit of a drought, the ski resorts on the East Coast are still mowing their lawns. Unseasonably warm temperatures have been fantastic for cyclists tearing up and down the resorts, but I’m sure the resort owners would prefer to fire up their millions in new chairlifts in snowmaking equipment. One day in the not too distant future January will be considered early season on the East Coast.

    This may end up the crappiest year ever. Sometimes it’s good to be old. At least I’ll miss the worst of a very hot future.

    We’re on our annual New Year’s “winter play” trip, and, for the second straight year, the weather has been less than ideal. Last year, the temperature hit the 50s in Lake Placid. This year, the Canaan Valley ski resorts are struggling just to keep a few trails open. Two days of warm temps and rain showers have wreaked havoc on the slopes.

    Maybe we should give up on New Year’s and shoot for Valentine’s Day instead.
