It’s almost Christmas, and that means a lot of people will be traveling for a ski vacation. The weeks surrounding the holiday are rarely known for their phenomenal snow conditions, no matter where you are in the country, but there’s still a few ski resorts that have seen some pretty serious snowfall so far this season. These 5 resorts have seen the most snow this season to date, though it doesn’t necessarily meant that snow has stuck around.
(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. Some resorts, like Mt. Baker, have seen significant snowfall this season but are yet to report season totals, and thus aren’t included on this list.)
