❄️ El Niño is building for winter 2026/27… so what does that actually mean for your snow holiday?

A very strong El Niño is developing in the Pacific, but that doesn’t automatically mean a bad snow season.

🏂 Japan could see a milder winter, particularly across Honshu
🇨🇦 Canada’s outlook leans warmer and lighter, although higher resorts can hold up well
🇺🇸 Parts of the USA, including California and Utah, could actually benefit from a wetter, snowier pattern

And as past El Niño winters have shown, seasonal forecasts don’t always tell the whole story.

We’ve broken down what the latest forecasts are saying for Japan, Canada and the USA, plus what happened during previous strong El Niño seasons.
