Skiers and snowboarders are basking in bumper snowfalls in Japan, while the United States is struggling with below average snowfalls.
But ironically bookings for Japan have been down following last year's earthquake and tsunami.
Whistler in British Columbia has recorded some of the best snowfalls in Canada, with a 208cm base, and Alberta resorts such as Banff and Lake Louise were also doing well.
But most of the US is suffering below average snowfalls with many of the most popular resorts struggling to reach a half-metre base.
Niseko on Japan's northern island Hokkaido has had more than 10m of snow fall this season. (news.com.au)
