California is experiencing its driest calendar year since 1921. We all know that last winter was dry. It was very dry. So far this ski season, there hasn’t been any relief.
Most of California is between 25% and 5% of average precipitation between January and early December. That’s not great.
Sorry if this was depressing. Here’s to hoping for a big winter this year.

Tough year. But that also means that the skiing is only going to get better! And that is something to get stoked about!!
That’s what I said last year too… 🙁
