Give it a bit of time. I live in NYC and haven't skied yet this season. I am planning the first day on 12/24 ( traditional ski day for the family, my mom cooks while we all ski, come home to a great meal!)
Joseph is coming to our local ski mtn for an extended family (and PMTS friends) clinic. I hope to take a few photos of north east PMTs and post them!
Not all of us can do november skiing.(though I wish I could).
