Spring may be here, but winter left its mark. Across North America, several resorts have reported incredible totals, with every mountain on this list receiving over 400 inches of snow. Five have topped 500 inches, and one northern giant broke through 700 inches, securing its spot as the snowiest ski resort of the season. Even the East Coast makes an appearance, outpacing Colorado, California, and much of the West.

Here are the top snowiest resorts this season, based on official reports.

Snowbird, Utah – 518 inches
