You can also have snow shipped to you for $89, which is what someone is actually doing.
To those of you on the East Coast who seem to think you need to hog all the snow and cold weather - STOP IT! GIVE IT BACK! We need snow and cold for the Iron Dog (which is going on now) and the Iditarod (begins March 7). You can have it after both races are completed (mid March) but really you don't deserve to have it since you don't seem to be able to handle it properly!
I say the East coast can keep all of their snow!!!To those of you on the East Coast who seem to think you need to hog all the snow and cold weather - STOP IT! GIVE IT BACK!

Clearly you're not a skier

I do cross-country, which is even more dependent on weather than downhill because they don't make snow for that. So you're completely dependent on Mother Nature providing sufficient snow and then keeping it cold enough not to melt (If it warms up and then re-freezes, it gets dangerous because it's pure ice and X-country skis don't give you the type of control that downhill skis do.) Needless to say, this winter has sucked, though at least where I am it's been a bit cooler than in the mountains.

Toni, you always seem to bring a new perspective.
I try. It's been insane. Our winter never came. We had a few days of snow but it's been mainly rain. At this rate the Iditarod will be run with water skis not sleds!
. We aren't really close to our all time snow of 117 inches, but I've still had enough. Last weekend we had another 6 inches and today we have freezing rain. We had an incredibly cold February of many nights of temps in the 0 to -17F range so the ground is really frozen. Rain is predicted and I'm afraid that will bring massive flooding.
