Off season

No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

Area Sciistica Abetone, in Italy, runs from 1,258 m at the base to 1,889 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 6.5 km across, with 86 marked runs and 18 lifts (about 39 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 109 cm of snowfall a season, 2,250th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 149th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (242 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (52 cm). February is usually the snowiest month, with about 35 cm.

Compared with what is nearby

Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.

88% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

Month by month, the most snow falls in February. March brings 71% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Italy (116%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 20 cm, less than the median of 48 cm.

Winter by winter

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 109 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2021/22 with 52 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 242 cm (4.7 times as much). For 55% of the 177 ski areas in Italy, the leanest winter was the same 2021/22: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
