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.Snow report on the official site ↗
Cimone, in Italy, runs from 1,305 m at the base to 1,858 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.4 km across, with 60 marked runs and 15 lifts (about 35 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 140 cm of snowfall a season, 1,801st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 132nd in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (279 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (74 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (35 and 34 cm on average).

Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.
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 24 cm, less than the median of 48 cm.

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 140 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 74 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 279 cm (3.8 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.
