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 Scistica Zum Zeri, in Italy, runs from 1,345 m at the base to 1,567 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.1 km across, with 10 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 6.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 55 cm of snowfall a season, 2,789th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 177th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (109 cm), brought more than 10 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (10 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (15 and 10 cm on average).
