Across 179 North American resorts, February averages new snow on 20% of days, 1st of the six main ski months (February is snowiest at 20%).
How we count: Open-Meteo historical weather (ERA5-based), July 2015 to June 2025, mid-mountain elevation; a fresh-snow day is 1 inch or more of modeled snowfall. Weather models undercount mountain snow, so real snow days are likely more frequent; use this to compare resorts and months. Each resort's page shows its own month-by-month odds.
