Forecast for December 28, 2025 – January 6, 2026

It’s always snowing somewhere, and for skiers and riders, that’s where the magic happens. Fresh snow is what turns ordinary runs into powder days, and every skier knows the thrill of waking up to see a few extra inches (or feet) on the mountain report.

Whether you’re chasing the deepest conditions or just living vicariously through other people’s powder days, it’s worth knowing where the flakes are stacking up. These are the resorts that will receive the most snow over the next week and beyond.
