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.

Kronplatz - Plan de Corones, in Italy, runs from 925 m at the base to 2,273 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 15 km across, with 125 marked runs and 26 lifts (about 76 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 162 cm of snowfall a season, 1,517th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 119th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (310 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (68 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (47 and 36 cm on average).

70% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.
