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.

Eden Valley Resort, in South Korea, runs from 562 m at the base to 736 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.9 km across, with 7 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 4.3 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 11 cm of snowfall a season, 3,032nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 15th in South Korea. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (33 cm), brought more than 11 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (3 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 5 cm.

West 20%

80% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
