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.

leMelette, in Italy, runs from 1,422 m at the base to 1,731 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.6 km across, with 16 marked runs and 7 lifts (about 12 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 166 cm of snowfall a season, 1,457th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 111th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (356 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (79 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (39 and 37 cm on average).

Which way the slopes face
50% 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in February. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 42 cm, about the same as the median of 48 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 166 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2021/22 with 79 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 356 cm (4.5 times as much). For 55% of the 177 ski areas in Italy, the leanest winter was the same 2021/22.
