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.

Borno, in Italy, runs from 950 m at the base to 1,686 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.6 km across, with 12 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 12 km of piste in all).

85% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
