No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.
A weather-model figure, worked out the same way for every ski area, and lower than what actually falls. Use it to compare ski areas, not against the resort’s own totals. How we measure →

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.

Macesnovc Rateče, in Slovenia, runs from 862 m at the base to 1,179 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across, with 1 marked run and 1 lift (about 1.1 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 181 cm of snowfall a season, 1,309th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 4th in Slovenia. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (336 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (95 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (49 and 41 cm on average).
How much snow it gets
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.

Which way the slopes face
100% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in February. March brings 88% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Slovenia (70%). In amount, March brings 36 cm, more than the median of 23 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 181 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 95 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 336 cm (3.5 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
