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 ↗
Flensa-Seewis, in Switzerland, runs from 1,012 m at the base to 1,182 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.8 km across, with 3 marked runs and 1 lift (about 1.7 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 253 cm of snowfall a season, 704th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 142nd in Switzerland. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (350 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (163 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 78 cm.

Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.
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.

81% 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 January. March brings 73% of January’s snowfall.

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 253 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 163 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 350 cm (2.1 times as much).
Across 3,069 ski areas we measure, height and snowfall move together — +0.58 in France, +0.85 in Germany. In Japan the figure is +0.02. The reason is not that elevation stopped working.
