As lovers of the sport, we obsess over snowfall totals, and every ski season brings a new set of snowfall stats, with the 2024-25 winter being no exception. While the usual heavy hitters mostly lived up to their reputations, a few unexpected contenders racked up big totals too. We took a look at the snowiest ski resort in each U.S. state this past season with data from OpenSnow’s season snowfall totals.
Whether you’re chasing powder or just curious where the flakes piled up highest, here’s how it all shook out. A minimum cutoff of 100 inches was used to make the list, meaning not all states will be represented. The list is in numerical order from low to high.

While the 2024–25 season brought its share of surprises, one thing stayed true—every state with a ski hill has its own snow story to tell. From massive totals in the usual spots to unexpected dumps in others, this winter proved that deep seasons are cherished and never taken for granted. Maybe your home resort topped the list in your state; if not, maybe it will next year.
