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.
(List is based on data provided by the resorts. Resorts that are yet to open are not considered, as many don’t report totals until the season gets going.)
