No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

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.

Fjellhaugen skisenter, in Norway, runs from 510 m at the base to 677 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.1 km across, with 5 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 2.4 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 433 cm of snowfall a season, 127th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 20th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (746 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (253 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 125 cm.
The nearest city of any size is Bergen, about 73 km away in a straight line.
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sauda skisenter | 27.0 km | 527 cm | 77 |
| Røldal Skisenter | 37.0 km | 639 cm | 28 |
| FONNA Glacier Ski Resort | 46.0 km | 783 cm | 1 |
| Bygdastølen skiskytterstadion | 49.0 km | 394 cm | 184 |
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
87% 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 January. March brings 71% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Norway (75%). In amount, March brings 89 cm, more than the median of 47 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 433 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2025/26 with 253 cm; the biggest was 2019/20 with 746 cm (2.9 times as much). For 34% of the 135 ski areas in Norway, the leanest winter was the same 2025/26: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
