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.

Lailias Ski Centre, in Greece, runs from 1,592 m at the base to 1,827 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across, with 4 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 1.2 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 78 cm of snowfall a season, 2,611th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 7th in Greece. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (143 cm), brought more than 6 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (21 cm). March still brings 19 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

West 7%

92% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
