WeatherJapan is lined up for a busy January 8-18 stretch with multiple snow-producing waves, highlighted by a major weekend dump and several follow-up refreshers before a warmer, windier finish late week. Central Honshu is the headline with multi-storm totals reaching 50″-80″, while Hokkaido's open resorts keep stacking frequent, generally higher-quality snow that adds up to 20″-65″, with periodic wind impacts on the most exposed terrain.
The ski season has just barely begun across the United States, with many resorts still waiting to open. That said, there are plenty of areas that have already seen some seriously deep snowfall totals, including some that report seeing more than 12 feet of snow since the winter began. Unfortunately that snow doesn't always stick around, but it's still a good sign when that much is hitting the ground. These are the 6 ski areas that have seen the most snow in the U.S. so far this season.
