Top Ski Resorts for Powder Skiing

Mmmmmmm, powder. The downy, dreamy, winter-wonderland white stuff. Where would skiing be without it? East Coasters know (read: unforgiving hard pack and ice…lots of ice), but if you long to carve through literal feet of champagne powder, your tracks swallowed up by more snow moments after you pass, then these resorts will put you smack-dab in the center of the continent’s most rewarding secret stashes. Rise at dawn, slap on a pair of wides, be the first on the lift, take the virgin run from the summit, and let all other skiing become a shadow of its former self…trust us.
