It’s been a good winter in North America but it’s winding down (except in Colorado, where they just got 29″ of snow…).
Snowfall totals on the West Coast ended up being large this year and it was something to celebrate after 4 dismal snow years there.
Every ski resort on this list is on the West Coast and of all but 3 of them are still open.
