Yep.  Not everything is like the top 1500' of Mansfield.

Yeah, 2' of 5% density can dissappear quick:

Don't forget, last winter brought cold and snow at the end of February/Beginning of march, and 
made it the best 3 weeks of the season.  I was skiing glades down to 800' elevation at this time 
last year.  Looking out my window, I can see that this year there is NO natural snow up to at least 
2200'.  The best 3 weeks of this season were December 1- December 24.
