Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the 2025/2026 ski season was lackluster (at least out West).
The lack of snow and warm temperatures have been the biggest story of the season from California to Colorado, but the ten ski resorts on this list have fared well despite Mother Nature’s best efforts to throw a wrench in the powder skiing party.
Season-to-date snowfall totals have been pulled from each ski resort’s website. Resorts without snowfall totals have been excluded. Stats pulled on Friday, March 27, 2026.

10. Jackson Hole, WY: 317”
Projected Closing Date: April 12, 2026.
Jackson Hole‘s snow reporting has been called into question in the past, but according to the resort’s website, a solid amount of snowfall has fallen in Rendezvous Bowl. 317″ is significantly below the resort’s reported average of 458″, but local skiers are happy that JHMR will make it to its scheduled closing day on April 12.
9. Whitewater, BC: 329” (838 cm)
Projected Closing Day: April 5, 2026
Whitewater is the first B.C. ski resort, but certainly not the last, to appear on this list of snowiest ski resorts. While the resort averages 472″ per season, there have been plenty of cold powder days to keep skiers happy.

8. Stevens Pass, WA: 332”
Projected Closing Date: April 12, 2026
What a wild season it’s been for Stevens Pass. The resort was rocked by a devastating rainstorm that washed out the access road at the beginning of the season, and several multiple-foot storms have dumped snow and rain since.
The resort is more than 100 inches below its reported average of 460 inches per year.

7. Mount Bohemia, MI: 345”
Projected Closing Day: TBD
Mount Bohemia, the Midwest’s powder skiing mecca, has lived up to its name this season. Thanks to plentiful lake effect snow, the humble ski area of yurts and glades has received more snowfall than Alta, Utah; Palisades Tahoe, California; and countless other big-name western ski resorts.
Mount Bohemia is the first ski area on this list to best its reported annual average. The ski area typically received 273 inches of snow per season.

6. Lake Louise, AB: 351”
Projected Closing Date: May 3, 2026
Lake Louise is known for its stunning alpine peaks, expansive bowls, and long ski season. The resort, typically, however, doesn’t sport deep snowfall totals. That’s not been the case this season.
The popular ski resort averages 179 inches of snow per season, but according to its website, over 350 inches have fallen on the upper mountain. Translation: there have been more powder days this season than usual. That’s a win in our book.

5. Kicking Horse, BC: 353” (899 cm)
Projected Closing Date: April 12, 2026
While some skiers are urging the world to “stop kicking horses”, Kicking Horse has been kicking to the tune of more than 350 inches of snowfall. That’s more than 70 inches above average for those keeping score at home.

4. Alyeska, AK: 353”
Projected Closing Date: April 26, 2026
Alyeska has enough snow to crack the top five of this list, but it has recorded just over 50% of its average. Last season, for context, the top of Alyeska’s GBX lift recorded more than 700 inches of total snowfall.

3. Jay Peak, VT: 395”
Projected Closing Date: TBD
Everything is coming up Jay Peak. Vermont’s snowiest ski resort has logged consecutive above-average snow years, and more snow should fall in the month of April. The mountain averages 347″ of snow, but is knocking on 400″. Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.

2. Mt. Baker Ski Area, WA: 416”
Projected Closing Date: April 19, 2026
“Rain, rain, go away, that’s what all my haters say.” Mt. Baker has had no shortage of clear, liquid snow this season, but the white stuff has stacked up as well.
As America’s snowiest ski resort, it’s below its average of 668 inches, but more than 400 inches of snow seems like enough to do the trick. The ski area is open and rocking with a respectable 150-inch base at Heather Meadows.

1. Revelstoke, BC: 440” (1,120 cm)
Projected Closing Date: April 12, 2026
Gnorm the Powder Gnome, Revy’s unofficial powder mascot, has been buried countless times this season on the snowstake webcam. Known for sporting the longest vertical in North America, the resort is reveling in its above-average snowfall year. Typically, 413 inches falls on Revelstoke per season.
