What December feels like
Every night is below freezing and the storms come through steadily, which is what makes the holiday weeks work. Christmas through New Year is the most crowded and most expensive stretch of the whole calendar; locals ski the first week of December and then hide.
Winter is doing its thing: 27.5 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 11 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
