"British Columbia saw snowpack levels track close to normal for most of the winter before dipping below average heading into March. The interior of the province fared best, essentially running a normal season from start to finish."
"The real bright spot in the entire North American West was the Canadian Rockies. Resorts in the Banff area, particularly Sunshine Village and Lake Louise, caught favorable storm tracks and stayed cold enough to build a deep base early and keep it going through March."
"Alta averages more than 500 inches of snow in a normal year, and even with only around 250 inches on the books by mid-March, that total still topped what most resorts around the country see in their best years."
The 2025/2026 ski season presented challenges across the American West, but Western Canada, particularly the Canadian Rockies, experienced better conditions. British Columbia had normal snowpack levels for most of the winter, while the interior performed best. The Banff area, including Sunshine Village and Lake Louise, benefited from favorable storm tracks. Alaska also maintained strong snow conditions, and Utah's Cottonwood Canyons provided a functional experience despite being below average. Alta, Snowbird, and Brighton managed to open most of their terrain, even with reduced snowfall compared to typical years.
