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.
Estación de esquí Sierra de Béjar - La Covatilla, in Spain, runs from 1,971 m at the base to 2,353 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.0 km across, with 22 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 15 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 115 cm of snowfall a season, 2,167th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 27th in Spain. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (316 cm), brought more than 13 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (24 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 52 cm.

Which way the slopes face
81% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 52 cm, about the same as the median of 52 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 115 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 24 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 316 cm (13.2 times as much). For 38% of the 34 ski areas in Spain, the leanest winter was the same 2015/16: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
