Weather
Cold temperatures and extensive snowfall has worked out well so far this year for the western US. As we shift towards 2017, it looks like we will start out the new year with great skiing conditions.

Slightly Below Average Snowpack In:

A lot of storm systems this year have had relatively low snow levels, which has allowed extensive snow coverage throughout the entire mountain. Even though it seemed like November was a slow start to the ski season, December treated the Western US well. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort had the DEEPEST December in 40 years, which is a great sign as to what is to come throughout the 2016-17 winter. The West is expected to experience below average temperatures and above average snowfall, which should increase these numbers and we like that.
