El Nino has a lot to do with snow pack. I don't know where you are at but from the Vail Basin to Keystone that usually means less snow. Anecdotally of course, that is just my own experience over the last 30 years of skiing here in CO.

But it still gets warmer than it did 30 years ago, and the little snow you get in those years doesn't go as far as it used too.
