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.
Estació d'esquí de Masella, in Spain, runs from 1,615 m at the base to 2,509 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 4.8 km across, with 98 marked runs and 18 lifts (about 52 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 109 cm of snowfall a season, 2,250th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 29th in Spain. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (240 cm), brought more than 6 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (36 cm). March still brings 32 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

Which way the slopes face
77% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in January. March brings 91% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Spain (102%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 32 cm, less than the median of 52 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 109 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 36 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 240 cm (6.7 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
