Actually the Northeast is having a considerably above average season. Conditions have been very good for the past 3 weeks. Perversely there were major rain events right before Christmas and MLK.
I would not be surprised to see the US skier visit record of 60.5 million broken this season.
1) Both East and all Western regions are having above average seasons since before Christmas.
2) We are hearing lots of anecdotal reports about how busy many resorts are this season.
No surprise with pent-up demand during the first overall above average season since 2010-11.
