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.

Misery Mountain Ski Hill, in Canada, runs from 339 m at the base to 509 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.9 km across, with 31 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 8.5 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 62 cm of snowfall a season, 2,734th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 162nd in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (148 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2023/24 (26 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (18 and 15 cm on average).

99% 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 December. March brings 87% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Canada (79%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 13 cm, less than the median of 32 cm.
