Intense snow dumps – nicknamed the Snowpocalypse 2017 – have buried the mountains across the Colorado Rockies, Western America and up into the Canadian Rockies.
California resorts are being pounded with record breaking snowfalls. Mammoth received 323cm (and counting) in the past 7 days – with 60cm of that falling on January 23rd! January has been their snowiest month in history! And the snowfall continues throughout Colorado and Utah with Lake Tahoe resorts getting as much as 239cm of the white gold in the past week.
Recent January storms in Jackson Hole, Wyoming dumped masses of fresh snow and the resort has topped a total of 835cm to date this season; again more snow is in the forecast.
Throughout British Columbia, ski resorts are recording some of their biggest snow falls. Revelstoke Mountain Resort has recorded 746cm of powder this season, the most powder snow in Canada.
Meanwhile in Japan, it’s another sensational winter season of snow and skiing with its famed powder quality.
It’s proving to be an epic season and January snow forecasts aren’t showing any signs of slowing. It’s not too late to book your SKI holiday.
