"The story of this year's North American snowfall has been a dramatic tale of boom or bust. Areas like the powder highway in British Columbia are enjoying an early-season boom, with several resorts reporting higher-than-average snowfall. On the other hand, regions in the American Pacific Northwest have had a less-than-stellar start. But PNW skiers, do not fret: 3-6 feet of snow is rumoured to be on the way later this week."
"The first and northernmost region on this list is Alaska, the proverbial king of snowfall in the U.S. Following a record-breaking 2024-25 season, this winter seems to have a more measured start. While local skiers have been able to enjoy consistent, cold conditions, Alaska is still waiting on a signature storm to push it to those ridiculous numbers seen last season. Despite this, Alaska still has two resorts with over 100 inches of snowfall this year."
North America’s early snowfall shows stark regional contrast, with British Columbia leading and many resorts exceeding 100 inches while the American Pacific Northwest lags but expects a large storm. British Columbia currently has twelve resorts over 100 inches, with Shames Mountain approaching potentially record volumes. Alaska has two resorts over 100 inches, including Alyeska Resort at 150 inches, after a measured start following a record 2024–25 season. Alberta has two resorts over 100 inches, including Lake Louise at 148 inches and Banff Sunshine Village at 123 inches. Forecasts suggest 3–6 feet may arrive in the PNW later this week.
