SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CustomWeather, a specialized provider of high resolution weather forecast and alert services, has released its Ski Outlook for Winter 2012-2013, indicating the best places to go for optimal skiing conditions in the U.S. this winter.

The weather for the upcoming 2012-2013 ski season is looking favorable for ski and snowboarding fans, with near-normal snowfall predicted for both the Eastern and Western ski areas. The absence of a substantial El Nino or La Nina this season means the Eastern ski areas are expecting near normal temperatures and snowfall amounts, and that most of the Rocky Mountain regions can look forward to a year of good powder. The one area of exception may be the Northwest, including Northern California; where below normal snowfall is anticipated.
