Quote:1. Jackson Hole – PAF: 99.0
The stalwart of our rankings holds the vanguard position once again. Jackson can’t be denied, not after a banner winter that dumped 593 inches of snow, with a peak snow depth that reached 158 inches on the mountain, a record.
Quote:2. Alta – PAF: 96.87
Alta is at once a time machine and a utopia that evokes what skiing was, and what it always should be. A quick look around at Alta tells skiers—there are no snowboarders here—that this place is different. Snow cakes everything here, from the road signs to the vertical rock faces.
Alta is one of the few ski resorts in order to America that feels decidedly like the Alps, but with far more snow.
Quote:3. Snowbird – PAF: 96.72
Anybody who has been to Utah’s Little Cottonwood Canyon realizes that Alta and Snowbird are close cousins, or perhaps even siblings of a sort. They are the only two ski resorts that benefit from the greatest snow trap in North America, and they share a snowbound ambience that’s unique to this curious crack of Wasatch topography.
Snow varies seasonally with WEATHER Marla.
Even on a daily basis, get back to us when there is no snow eh.
