Winter 2025-26 divided the U.S. into two distinct weather patterns. The West experienced warmth, high snow lines, and rain, leading to poor skiing conditions. In contrast, the Midwest and Northeast benefited from colder air and better storm tracks, resulting in more dependable skiing. AccuWeather was the most accurate forecaster overall, while Farmers' Almanac excelled in the East.
