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.

Glen Eden, in Canada, runs from 236 m at the base to 322 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.1 km across, with 19 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 3.5 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 92 cm of snowfall a season, 2,461st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 148th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022/23 (138 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (63 cm). February is usually the snowiest month, with about 29 cm.

How much snow it gets
