1. Sunapee

Terrible

2. Ascutney

Somewhere between terrible and bad.

3. Pats

Absolutely terrible.

4. Any other southern NH areas

Not really. For southern New England your only real hope is maybe a couple inches of snow from uplift/backlash at the very end. Just go to Sunapee, they have amazing snowmaking and will survive it fine. Though it will be quite crowded. Your closest hope for natural snow is probably Killington because they have elevation of their side.

Drive one hour further north from Killington and you'll be at Sugarbush. It sounds like we're going to make out nicely.

It's important for the northern resorts to have cold, snowy weather in Southern NE and NY, too, as many people don't even start thinking about skiing until they can look out their windows and see snow.
