We've had a blast this season, enjoying the abundant powder days from December that dropped 15 feet of snowfall, followed by the fun + carveable groomer days and light, dry powder days throughout the rest of the season. As we close out this fun season with 249 inches of snowfall, it’s been our pleasure to share the good vibes throughout the mountain and the abundant good times with our guests.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt high five to all of our staff for their work and commitment to delivering the best possible experience this winter.

There are many more resorts that might be considered "snow-sure" in North America than there are in Europe.

On the whole, North American ski resorts do get more snow (though this is not always as clear cut as many people presume).

Low humidity is another key factor, at least away from the coastal ranges. The resorts of Utah and Colorado, in particular, have very low average humidity compared to their European counterparts, which helps keep the snow in better condition. Snow-making is also more comprehensive.

Here are 10 of the safest bets in North America...

Not only are Alta and Snowbird the undisputed powder kings of the world, they also offer plenty of high, shady north-facing terrain.

Snow quality therefore often remains high deep into spring.

Grand Targhee is probably North America's most consistently snowy resort, and a very safe bet, even in leaner years.

Brighton and Solitude are only fractionally lower and less snowy than their famous neighbours (Alta and Snowbird), and snow reliability and quality here are first rate.

Not only is Wolf Creek's base elevation among the highest in Colorado, it also has the state's highest average snowfall.

Combine this with lots of north-facing terrain and it's easy to see why this is one of the safest bets in North America.

Simply put, Alyeska gets an awful lot of snow.

Being on the coast can make for variable quality at the lowest elevations, but this is more than made up for up the mountain, with one of the highest snowfall averages in North America.

Mount Baker is the world's snowiest lift-served ski area.

It might not always offer the lightest and driest of powder, but snow cover here is super reliable.

Californian resorts are occasionally prone to slow starts to the season but, generally speaking, Kirkwood is a very safe bet.

Not only does it have the highest average snowfall of any resort in the Tahoe region, but it also has lots of north-facing terrain.

Winter Park has the highest snowfall average of any major Colorado resort, comprehensive snow-making and lots of shady north-facing terrain that keeps its snow in good condition.

Impressive snowfall and exceptional altitude ensure that Loveland is one of the most snow-sure ski resorts in Colorado

Snow-making is also impressive, allowing it to be one of the earliest opening ski resorts in North America.

Vail may not be the highest ski resort in Colorado, but it is one of the most consistently snowy. Its upper lifts are also less prone to closure from wind than, say, in Breckenridge or Arapahoe Basin.

The high standard of grooming and snow-making also help make snow conditions reliably good.
