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.
Campo Imperatore, in Italy, runs from 1,892 m at the base to 2,190 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.2 km across, with 9 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 7.7 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 183 cm of snowfall a season, 1,294th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 85th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2016/17 (329 cm), brought more than 7 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (44 cm). March still brings 50 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

88% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
The most snow falls in January. March brings 81% 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 50 cm, about the same as the median of 48 cm.

Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 183 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 44 cm; the biggest was 2016/17 with 329 cm (7.5 times as much). For 55% of the 177 ski areas in Italy the leanest winter was 2021/22; here it was a different one.
Over twelve winters, the typical Japanese ski area's best winter was 2.3 times its worst. In Italy and Chile it was 4.6 times, in New Zealand 4.2. Canada, Finland and Sweden come out steadier than Japan.
