Booking the perfect ski trip can be a difficult task. You’re never going to know exactly how the weather will turn out ahead of time, so you just have to hope that things will turn out right. If you really want to increase your chances of a powder-filled trip, look into booking at one of these three snowiest ski resorts in the United States.

Utah’s snowiest ski resort, Alta Ski Area receives an average of 548 inches of snowfall in a season. Their largest single season on record came in 2022-23, when Alta saw 903 inches of snow.

Alyeska Resort’s 1,610 skiable acres and 76 named runs offer incredible views and top tier terrain. Plus, with an average annual snowfall of 650 inches, the resort tends to have plenty of powder.
1. Mt. Baker, Washington – 688 inch average
