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 →

Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.
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.

Clearwater Demonstration Forest Recreation Site is a ski area in Canada, on slopes between roughly 860 and 860 m. Its mapped area is about 6.1 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 160 cm of snowfall a season, 1,541st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 67th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (228 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (87 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (50 and 39 cm on average).
How much snow it gets
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in December. March brings 64% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Canada (79%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 25 cm, less than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 160 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2018/19 with 87 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 228 cm (2.6 times as much). For 28% of the 171 ski areas in Canada the leanest winter was 2014/15; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
