Deep, deeper, deepest
Winter 2022/23 has been one for the books; A record-breaking season for snow in the USA.
Ski resorts have recorded (/are still recording) their deepest ever winter, with new snowfall records set.
Palisades in Tahoe, CA has received 178% of the average season snowfall (the average being 400″ / 10m). Snowbird in Utah outstrips its last record of 785″ by an easy metre. Solitude Mountain has had 95 snow days. It’s been relentless…
The below numbers reflect snow totals that have broken records:
- Alta, UT – 893″ / 22.7m
- Snowbird, UT – 820″ / 20.8m
- Solitude Mountain Resort, UT – 797″ / 20.2m
- Dodge Ridge Mountain Resort, CA – 737″ / 18.7m
- Palisades Tahoe, CA – 710″ / 18m
- Mammoth Mountain, CA – 705″ / 17.8m (over 22m at summit)

- Jackson Hole, WY – 595″ / 15.1m
- Heavenly, CA – 570″ / 14.5m
The list goes on, too. Around 20 ski resorts in three states have had historic amounts of snow. And not all these numbers are even recorded at summit (most, in fact, were measured from base stations).
These snow totals were tallied on 22 April, 2023, but on these resorts ski, some with end-of-season parties set for July.
Next year’s our year…
