I haven't been able to find any research that can tell us if it is definitel y so, but being a New Englander myself I can tell you that the weather is a big factor. The winters are harsh and rather depressing at times. Also there is a belief here that most of the good jobs are being taken in this region and to be able to find a decent job now or to find cheaper housing, you have to move to the apparently economically developing midwest or the southwest.

Massahusetts,  U.S.A.,  the weather is perfect.   Clear sky, in the 70 degrees.   Good for walking in the park.   \n\nThank for asking!

*shrugs*\n\nThough I belive New England has that beat. You can have a summer time rainstorm and a winter snowstorm all in a space of a few hours.

Don't worry about a thing.  I skied in the East and the West (and Europe) and you'll find the skiing in the West is far superior.  I brought my skis east one season and never dragged them out there again.\n\nYour biggest danger is that once you've "tasted" western skiing you'll never ski in the East again.  If you fall, it's a soft fall.  You may freak out, however, since it's so much fun!\n\nThat said, you should be prepared for lots of powder -- I'm in Aspen and we had three feet of snow over the last few days -- VERY unusual.  \n\nPowder is basically skiing in three dimensions, not just two.  It takes a bit of extra balance -- don't lean back.  The newer shaped skis are very helpful in all conditions including powder and make everything easy to ski.  Edges are not that important and just take it easy (it's not eastern hard pack).  Also, while you're used to cold, we are expecting some cold here so bring warm clothes -- you can always shed them.  Finally, remember to zip up all your pockets or you'll find them full of snow!\n\nAs for moguls, when there is enough snow you won't find any.  As for the steeps, you'll need them in order to move if the snow is deep enough.\n\nIf you're looking for some choices in terms of where you'll find the best snow, check www.onthesnow.com, www.skicentral.com or www.ski.com for snow conditions and other information about the resorts. \n\nHave a great time!

I dunno but we've been getting some pretty cold weather up here in OR and the ski resorts have lots of snow here.  Why not check yahoo weather to find out?

Our snow usually lasts only a few days at most. Last year, we had snow the first week of December and then again in early March - that was it. I'm a bit south of Redmond, out toward Maple Valley, and we just had about 30 minutes of thundersnow (thunder and lightning, while snowing), very cool!\n\nA few years back we had an ice storm, that was nasty. But it's only happened that once in the 10 years I've lived in the area.

Yes (or we have a choice to come in).  When we see the weather at night, we root for the snow to come down too!  Who wouldn't want to have a suprise day off every once in awhile?

Based on National Weather Service records for 1961 through 1990, Rochester, New York averages 94 inches of snow annually and is the snowiest large city in the United States. Rochester has a population more than 200,000 and annual municipal snow-removal budget of $3.7 million (1995 figures).\n\nMore snow falls each year in southern Canada and the northern U.S. than at the North Pole!\n\nAccording to the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. Blue Canyon, California leads the list with an average of 240.8 inches of snow a year. Granted, Blue Canyon, which is in the Sierra mountains between Sacramento, CA and Reno, NV isn't a city, but folks there have kept weather records a long time.\n\nKirkwood Mountain Resort, Kirkwood, CA, has the Most Snow in North America. Over 75 inches of new snow in the past week has pushed Kirkwood’s snowfall total for the season over 750 inches!\n\nOn average, the mountains of the western states receive the most snow and are among the snowiest places on Earth. The greatest annual snowfall level is at Mount Rainier, in Washington, at 692 inches (1,757.68 cm); the record there was 1,122 inches (2849.8 cm) in the winter of 1971–1972. Other places with significant snowfall outside the Cascade Range are the Wasatch Mountains, near the Great Salt Lake, and the Sierra Nevada, near Lake Tahoe. In the east, while snowfall does not approach western levels, the region near the Great Lakes and the mountains of the Northeast receive the most.\n\n_______________________

Well it depends on East Coast vs. West Coast...\n\nEast Coast:\n\n1) Sugarloaf/USA, Maine\n2) Killington, Vermont\n3) Whiteface, New York\n4) Mount Snow, Vermont\n5) Sunday River, Maine\n\nWest Coast:\n\n1) Snowbird, Utah (Snowboarders aren't allowed at Alta)\n2) Lake Tahoe, California\n3) Park City, Utah\n4) Whistler/ Blackcomb, British Columbia, Canada\n5) Winter Park/ Mary-Jane, Colorado\n\nAlso, I don't know as much about West Coast ski resorts, because I am from the East Coast, but I have been out there 4 or 5 times, and had good expiriences (or heard) good things with/ about all of those. I personally like Sugarloaf/USA for the East the most, because, well, that is where I ski all winter ;-) For the West I like Snowbird, they get a lot of snow each year. This year they had over 450" of base...

I lived in Louisiana for 30 years and never saw one snowflake except in pictures!\nI moved to Washington state and my first year here it snowed-  I did not know that snow really glittered!!!  I thought that was only in the movies- it is amazingly beautiful!!  It has not snowed since then,  I am told that where I am snow is not common, every few years or so- so it would be nice to get a little this year- at least I am close enough to take a 30 min - 1 hour drive to go and play in some snow during the season.\nEveryone should see snow at least once in their life!\n\nIn Louisiana, we just put on our shorts and a t shirt and had fun in the warm winter sun :)\n\nI hope you get your snow !
