Top 20 Deepest Snowpacks in North America

 

No surprise that Mt. Baker is on the top of the list as Mt. Baker is always on top of this list.  What’s surprising is that there’s 4 California resorts on here.  California hasn’t had any significant storms since December, but that snow has hung in there, huh?

If you’re looking for a recommendation on where to go this spring, it’s Alaska.  Go to Alaska.  It’s been good up there lately (see image below).
