The 10 Ski Resorts With The Most Snow In The U.S. and Canada This Season

It’s nearly March, which means, depending on where you live, ski season is about halfway over.

There’s no doubt it’s been a rough season for a lot of places when it comes to snowfall. The northeastern U.S. has had a particularly fruitful snow year, especially during the early season when much of the west was hurting. As December rolled around, interior BC and Alberta seemed to get storm after storm.

However, as things warmed up in BC, a storm cycle came through California, walloping the Sierras with snow and helping them to catch up on some of their early-season drought.

So, at nearly/just past/almost halfway through the ski season, which resorts in the US and Canada have the highest season-to-date totals? Check out the list below.

Resorts have only been included that report season-to-date snowfall totals. Resort totals are accurate as of February 23, 2026.

1. Jay Peak, VT – 348″

Yep, once again, Jay Peak, Vermont is the snowiest resort in the U.S. or Canada with nearly 350″ of snowfall this season. Early season storms in November and December were kind to the northeast and set them up for good coverage. Jay Peak gets an average of 347″, which means they’ve also already surpassed their annual average with two months left to go in the season. By late January, Jay Peak had already hit 300″, which puts them on pace to pass the 2000/2001 winter’s total of 581″. We’re happy for you, Jay Peak, we swear.

2. Revelstoke, BC – 345″ / 880cm

Revelstoke, British Columbia’s season total snowfall is sitting at a nice 880cm or roughly 345″ if you’re more of an imperial system kind of skier. Storm after storm of blower pow seemed to hit Revelstoke right as they opened in early December, giving the rest of the world a whole lot of FOMO. Early December saw a 30″ storm, followed by a 29″ storm, and then a 21″ storm to top it off. Despite a few warm weeks in there, Gnormie the powder Gnome has stayed mostly buried this season.

3. Mt. Baker, WA – 274″*

Generally known as the snowiest mountain in the U.S., Mt. Baker is boasting a pretty impressive season total, despite a rough start to the year. As of their February 3 published metric, Mt. Baker had 274″ of snow.

*However, popular snow forecasting app, OpenSnow, is putting them at 338″ for the season. Mt. Baker’s snow report currently says they’ve gotten 14″ of new snow today and 20″ in the last 24 hours, which makes the difference of 60-some inches over 20 days feel pretty feasible. OpenSnow’s previous data says Baker also saw 30 inches of snow between Thursday, February 19, and Monday, February 23, so we’re confident that they’re in at least the ballpark of the 338″ number.

While that’s a lot of snow and more than most other Pacific Northwest mountains have, Mt. Baker has still had a relatively dry year by comparison. The Washington ski area often sees more than 600″ of snow in a season, with more than 100″ sometimes falling each month. This year, December saw 142″, but has otherwise been significantly below average.

4. Alyeska, AK – 316″

Another notoriously snowy resort, it’s not shocking to see Alyeska, Alaska totaling in at over 300″ of snow. The ski area, which passed 700″ of snow last season, annually averages nearly 670″ of snow. While they have more snow than a lot of places, the Alyeska snow report still reads “light snow covers a thin snowpack with hidden hazards, please travel cautiously!” There’s still time for Alyeska to hit or get close to that season average, but they’re another ski area that’s had a comparatively dry year.

5. Sugar Bowl, CA- 288″

Here’s a wild metric for you—105″ of Sugar Bowl‘s season total 288″ of snow has fallen in the last week. California had a particularly rough start to the 25/26 ski season with little snow falling and forcing places to open late. However, in true Sierra fashion, the faucet turned on eventually, and when it did, it really turned on. Over the last week, Sugar Bowl cleaned up, along with Kirkwood, Mammoth Mountain, and Palisades Tahoe. Sugar Bowl got 63″ of snow between Monday, February 16, and Wednesday, February 18, and another 48″ over the 19th and 20th. Sugar Bowl usually sees an average snowfall of 500″, which, with another storm like this last one, they very well could hit this year.

6. Whitewater Ski Resort, BC – 725cm/286″

Whitewater Ski Resort has had a similar season to Revelstoke, picking up lots of early season snow this year and setting a good base for the resort. Following a similar warming period, Whitewater has also continued to benefit from this most recent storm system, picking up 17″ over the last 5 days, 7″ in the last 24 hours, and forecasting another 13″ in the coming days. Whitewater sees an annual average of 480″ of snow, which they’re ticking their way towards.

7. Palisades Tahoe, CA – 278″

Like Sugar Bowl, Palisades Tahoe had a particularly rough early season with a late opening and minimal snow. However, this last storm cycle has been kind to the Lake Tahoe ski area and quickly gotten them back on track to an epic winter. Palisades’ current total season snowfall is coming in at 278″, with 84 of those inches falling in the last 7 days. Palisades Tahoe usually gets between 400-450″ of snow per season, which is still a ways out, but here’s hoping another big storm keeps sending them in the right direction.

8. Kicking Horse, BC – 694cm/273″

Like other interior BC resorts, Kicking Horse‘s excellent early-season snowfall set them up well for a good season. On average, Kicking Horse’s Alpine Snow Station sees 256″ of snow per season, which means they’re already nicely ahead of that before March. While there’s no Sierra-style dumps in the forecast currently, there are a few nice refreshes over the next few weeks that will help Kicking Horse maintain its above-average year.

9. Fernie, BC – 688cm/271″

Fernie is well on their way to an average season of snow, but hasn’t been quite as lucky as places like Revelstoke. A mid-December storm dumped 15″ of snow on Fernie overnight and set a trend for their hearty base and average snowfall. However, since then the ski area hasn’t quite made it to their average 348″ of snow. There’s still a few months left to go, and a recent storm gave them a nice refresh of 88cm in the last 7 days.

10. Jackson Hole, WY – 269″

Another western ski area whose season started off slowly is Teton giant, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The Wyoming ski area was forced to delay its opening, and many early-season storms came with a bit of rain. However, over the last month or so, conditions have really turned around in Jackson, just in time for Kings & Queens of Corbet’s Couloir. Jackson is currently sitting at a season total of 269″ on top of Rendezvous Bowl. On average, JHMR sees around 500″ of snow per year, but March can often deliver good storms to the area, so there’s still a chance they’ll get there.
