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 ↗
Coffee Mill Ski & Snowboard Resort, in United States, runs from 229 m at the base to 352 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across, with 12 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 4 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 70 cm of snowfall a season, 2,666th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 466th in the United States. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (110 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (36 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (19 and 18 cm on average).

90% 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 December. March brings 83% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in the United States (85%). In amount, March brings 15 cm, less than the median of 30 cm.

Niseko is 526th in the world for snowfall. Zermatt is 554th, Jackson Hole 924th, Aspen 1,201st. Measured identically across 3,069 ski areas, the names everyone books and the places it actually snows turn out to be two different lists.
