Jay Peak, Vermont

Advertised Average snowfall: 359"

I doubt this surprised you (unless you live under a rock). Every East Coast expert skier has heard of the famous Jay Cloud. Jay Peak’s 359" average even beats out some famous mountains out west such as Vail (354"), Park City (355") and Northstar (350"). They also get 70% more snowfall than #10 on this list.

2. Stowe, Vermont

While it’s not Jay by any means, Stowe still offers an impressive 314" a season. They also tie the Colorado resorts of Winter Park and Steamboat.

3. Bolton Valley, Vermont

Advertised Average snowfall: 312"

Bolton Valley is a smaller ski area you might never have even heard of, but they still boast an impressive 312" average snowfall, beating out famous mountains in the rockies like Kicking Horse (300") and Telluride (280").
