Winter is well and truly here, with some resorts having more snow than others.ย A deep snowpack sets up a great winter, so these nine resorts below are off to a fantastic start.

The deepest snowpack here is over 11 FEET! Already. Wow.

Northstar California is reporting a base of 3,850″ (320 feet). However much I’d like that to be accurate, I’m sure there’s a glitch!

Northstar California is reporting a 3,250″ base on December 28, 2024.
