El Nino has rocked the Western USA with deep snows and big storms.  The West Coast has particularly been the recipient of some huge storms recently (62″ in 3-days this week…).

Every ski resort on this list is on the West Coast.  AK, WA, OR, CA, & B.C. are getting it good this year and there is no end in sight.

Up to 5-feet of snow if forecast for CA by Tuesday and the entire Western US is forecast to see more snow by next week.

**listed snowfall totals come directly from each ski resorts’ upper mountain snowfall numbers as posted on their websites as of March 9th, 2016.
