Resorts with the most forecast snowfall in the next 3 days.
Enter your location, tell us your pass and how far you will drive, and we score 250 US mountains in real time using live snow forecast, drive time, crowd outlook, and ticket price.
Enter a ZIP code or city. We calculate real drive times to every mountain in the database from your door.

A highlighted top pick first, then a sortable table of every mountain in range with the snow forecast, crowd outlook, and drive time behind the scores.
250 mountains across 34 states, from local hills to destination resorts. Every one scored the same way.
Already have a pass? Set it once and every score reflects what you would actually pay at the window. Compare Epic vs Ikon vs Indy →
Vail, Breckenridge, Park City, Stowe, Whistler, Heavenly, Northstar, Kirkwood, Attitash, Wildcat, Crotched, Mount Sunapee, Stevens Pass, and more.
Epic pass resorts →Jackson Hole, Mammoth, Steamboat, Killington, Sugarbush, Palisades Tahoe, Alta, Snowbird, Deer Valley, Crystal Mountain, Schweitzer, Taos, and more.
Ikon pass resorts →100+ independent mountains across the US including Berkshire East, Jay Peak, Cannon, Bridger Bowl, Mt. Bachelor, Whitefish, Saddleback, and regional gems.
Indy pass resorts →Enter your ZIP code or city at the top of this page. We score every mountain within your drive window by live snow forecast, crowd outlook, and pass coverage.
The Storm Chaser section shows the four mountains with the highest 3-day snowfall forecast, updated as the forecast changes.
Often yes. The scoring weighs recent 7-day snowfall and base depth alongside the 3-day forecast. A mountain with 300" on the base often skis better than one chasing a thin 2" system.
Set Crowd Level to Quiet Slopes in the preferences panel. The scoring deprioritizes major Epic and Ikon resorts over peak weekends and surfaces independent mountains nearby.
Yes — independents are scored the same way as destination resorts. A local hill with great grooming, low crowds, and a $55 ticket can outscore a $250 resort on the wrong weekend.
Snow forecasts come from Open-Meteo, a high-resolution weather model updated every few hours. We use summit-elevation-adjusted temperatures to distinguish rain-line events from actual snow.
