Soon-to be End of November SWE: An Update

The wide view here. Certainly, not at the terrain level, but the patterns are evident. Deep blue indicates the likelihood that rocks skis are shelved for the time being.

For some in North America, November has been bliss; for others, that wait continues. Not unlike other years, at least considering its early season, there are haves and have-nots. In other words, you may be over-tractioned if you are running studs or even Blizzaks. While it’s too early to predict general trends regarding what December and January have in store, the SWE maps show a striking contrast.

Be warned, these maps may be triggering for some. For others, they may be an echo chamber. If you’ve already transitioned to non-rock skis/boards, these maps will affirm what you already know. If you live in the land of plenty, we suppose it’s best practice to show gratitude for the gift of good coverage, with the firm understanding that the weather gods could shut the faucet down lickety-split.
