This year the mood is WAY up

At this time of year - a few days before the mountain opens, the town mood is guaged by what sort of ski year this is going to be. For some it's because they ski and for others it's because they are intensely financially dependent upon how good ski season is going to be. This year the mood is WAY up - we've got snow and lots of it. It's even snowing right now! It's really white all over the place.
