Heading into spring, the 10 deepest snowpacks are well over 100”. It’s a shame that many resorts on this list will be closing down their operations in the next 2-3 weeks, but thats the way it goes. The usual suspects are back on the list, and Mt Baker is still on top. Tahoe has received over 2 feet of snow in the past few days, and snowpacks depths in Tahoe hang around 100-110”. Decent, but not deep enough to make the Top 10 list.

Tamarack, ID would have been #9 on the list with 124” base, but riding ended for the season on March 31. In this wacky weather world many of these resorts are still getting snow this week. At Jackson Hole it’s looking like could be powder to ski on closing day. Memories of closing day usually involve sunburns, corn snow, and a few tall boys.

For those of us who didn’t quite make it to ski Alaska pow this season, the spring season stretches on, giving you a chance to head up and get your sunburn on (or pow shred, it could go either way this year).
