When it comes to ski resort snow quality, the total snowfall seen throughout the season is nowhere near as important as the current snowpack. An area could see 10 feet of snow in 7 days, but it wouldn’t matter if the next 7 days were filled with warm weather and rain. For Canada, the 5 resorts with the deepest snowpacks (as of December 31st) aren’t necessarily where you’d expect.
