While scientists are dipping their thermometers in the ocean currents off South America and studying satellite weather data, are you waxing your skis or snowboard and wondering if you’re going to be able to hit the slopes this winter? How much snow can you expect for the 2009-2010 ski season? Weather forecasters are batting around the term “El Nino,” a weather pattern that usually means less of the white stuff and bleaker snow reports than in normal years. So, when should you plan that anxiously awaited ski trip to the Cascades, California’s high mountain resorts, or the pure powder slopes of Colorado and Utah? Or should you just sign up for indoor tennis lessons and forget the ski season?

The business of long-range weather forecasting isn’t perfect, but the men and women who venture into this difficult field are suggesting there should be sufficient snow. Keep in mind that some of you have been spoiled by the record snowfall amounts from last season. Figures for some regions indicate a decrease of 20 percent in snowfall for December, January, and February. Yet one forecasting group predicts a 30 percent increase in average snowfall for northern California resorts. Ironing out the variations, predictions suggest there’s going to be slightly less snowfall than in a normal year.

Wind and milder temperatures typically accompany these lesser snow amounts during El Nino years. But cold temperatures can break the cycle periodically. These colder periods often occur around the time of the full moon. Book accordingly!

The snow reports should get better by spring. The El Nino cycle is expected to weaken by March bringing more snow to ski country. In the Rockies, March is typically the month with the most snowfall. So if you’re booking your vacation late, it could be worth the wait.
