The results are in! Below is list of selected mid-Atlantic ski resorts ranked by the chance that you may be skiing in crud at the midpoint of meteorological winter in the mid-Atlantic. The algorithm includes the following inputs: base elevation, latitude, average annual snowfall based on data from the NWS, and the general orientation of the area's slopes to north.

Based on annual snowfall in general, Massanutten would not have survived as a ski resort at all.  As with all the ski resorts in NC, what has made the difference is the strength of the snowmaking infrastructure from the start back in the 1960s or 1970s.

Bryce has been around longer than Mnut.  It's in a "cold sink" that means there are times when Bryce can make snow when Mnut can't.  Especially when there is a temperature inversion for the upper mountain at Mnut.

For better snow, drive to WV.  End of story.
