Brighton Resort
Its January 15th which is not only MLK weekend but also roughly the middle of the season for much of the North American ski resorts across the USA and Canada. We decided to take a look at the top 50 snowfalls across the continent to see who has had the most snow so far of the 22/23 season. Hint, the whole top 10 only comprises of ski resorts in Utah and California, are we really that surprised as the conditions across these two states have been all time since mid to late December.

All the snowfall numbers in this video have been taken directly from the ski resorts published numbers on their website as of 15th January 2023. A few days ago there was a report of 444" at Mammoth Mountain however this was never published to their website so we have listed them with what is showing to date.


#1 | Alta Ski Area in Utah has seen 390" or 991cm of fresh snow since the start of the season. The ski area opened on the 18th of November and it's been nuking The Greatest Snow on Earth ever since.

#3 | The first Californian resort is none other than Mammoth Mountain which has been seeing incredible snowfall since opening on the 5th of November. With 367" or 932cm of snow that's an average of 5.15 inches per day since opening. Most of this snowfall at Mammoth has happened due to the ongoing atmospheric rivers that are hammering California but the team at Mammoth are out on then mountain every day to try and get the 25 lifts running which access 150 marked runs. Will 2023 be a recording breaking season for Mammoth, we will have to wait and see, what we do know is that the legendary spring skiing will be all time this season.
