"For powder seekers, few things matter more than consistency-the kind of deep winter snowpack that transforms a good ski trip into an unforgettable one. Across the Alps, snowfall varies dramatically by altitude, exposure, and local weather patterns. But year after year, a handful of resorts rise to the top with reliable, season-stretching storms. Using average annual snowfall totals collected by Hoppa, here are Europe's 10 snowiest ski resorts:"
"7. Chamonix, France - 470 cm Chamonix's reputation is built on steep, glaciated terrain and storm cycles that blanket the Mont Blanc massif. With 470 cm of annual snowfall, it offers world-class powder skiing, often deep into spring, especially on high-elevation north-facing aspects. 6. Verbier (4 Vallées), Switzerland - 475 cm Part of the expansive 4 Vallées region, Verbier combines consistent snowfall with legendary freeride terrain."
