Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.
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.
Garéssio 2000 is a ski area in Italy, at about 1,559 m. Within 2.6 km of its centre the map shows 17 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 12 km of piste).

It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (431 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (85 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (51 and 47 cm on average).
