I resemble that remark. Earlier this season I was super envious of the Donek and Bomber teams hitting A basin and such. Seems like down here in Possum Pouch we had to wait until January before there was enough coverage and then it was all done by the 3rd week of March (sloppy and wet as it was). I placated myself with 2 week(ish) long trips out West to Colorado which helped ease the pain a lot. This year I did a few races which is always a good thing to commit to, as it assures that you get your butt up to the mountain instead of sitting on the sofa reviewing snowpack levels on the web and double-guessing what you should be doing. Two core shots to the gear this year - first year that's happened, but maybe one of my bigger seasons (except for my first where I lived within 2 hours of the Alps).
Now it's all over, and it's 70 degrees, and all I'm doing is watching the classifieds waiting for racers to unload their gear and thinking about kayaking, windsurfing and mountain biking.
The antidote to your issues is to move out West. NC, PA, they aren't much better than one another for snow sports.
