What January feels like
X Games takes over Buttermilk in the back half of the month and fills the town with people who never touch a ski. Every single night drops below freezing, and that is precisely what keeps the snow good; the trade is a car that won't start and a face that needs covering on the gondola.
Winter is doing its thing: 28.1 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 12 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
