No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.
A weather-model figure, worked out the same way for every ski area, and lower than what actually falls. Use it to compare ski areas, not against the resort’s own totals. How we measure →
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.

Cima Piazzi – San Colombano, in Italy, runs from 1,338 m at the base to 2,366 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 5.9 km across, with 29 marked runs and 10 lifts (about 23 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 227 cm of snowfall a season, 899th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 39th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (382 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (114 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (60 and 52 cm on average).
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.

Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
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 March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 61 cm, more than the median of 48 cm.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 227 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2021/22 with 114 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 382 cm (3.4 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
