Long awaited first ski trip to Utah and there is no $^%#& snow. There was snow in October. What happened?!!

Dreaded breaking the news to kiddo who has been jabbering incessantly about this trip for months. All he watched on Youtube was skiing videos. It got so bad that his suitcase was confiscated for all the obsessive packing and repacking of gear (headlamps, marshmallows, blankets, stuffies...) He's in denial and insists there is indeed snow... I so wish.
