No surprise that Mt. Baker is on the top of the list as Mt. Baker is always on top of this list.  What’s surprising is that there’s 4 California resorts on here.  California hasn’t had any significant storms since December, but that snow has hung in there, huh?
If you’re looking for a recommendation on where to go this spring, it’s Alaska.  Go to Alaska.  It’s been good up there lately (see image below).

PLACES WE WISH HAD MORE SNOW:
Jackson Hole, WY = 79″
Squaw Valley, CA = 90″
Snowbird, UT = 91″
Whistler-Blackcomb, B.C. = 90″
Right now, we can’t exactly recommend anywhere to go in North America besides Alaska.  It’s good in AK right now if you’re willing to hike or have the money saved up for a heli or 3.
Timberline is in Washington? I have been doing it wrong the entire time.
Close enough to be in WA, right? My bad, gonna fix it now. Thanks for the heads up.
Woahwoahwoah… What about everyone’s favourite community hill, Mt. Cain? 193 inches of radness!

I was just about to post a link to Cain’s snow report!
This feel like the comp rankings. I hate ties for placements. You want 20 and you feel like you only get 14. Baker holdin’ on strong again though.
Vancouver Island baby!!
