El Nino has been good to Western North American snowpacks.

As per normal, the West Coast is dominating this list with only one ski resort in the Top 10 being outside the West Coast.  Props to Wolf Creek for raking in the snow this year.  

California, Oregon, Washington, B.C., Alaska.  This is where the big snow falls and this is where the big snow sticks around.

It’s lining up to be a terrific year for spring skiing on the West Coast. Volcano skiing the Cascades and couloir skiing the Eastern Sierra will both most likely be great this spring.  We just need El Nino to come back and start unloading on the Western North America again.  The Eastern North America, too!

**these snowpack numbers come from each ski resort’s website’s snowpack numbers for their upper mountains
