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.

O2 Resort, in South Korea, runs from 844 m at the base to 1,416 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.9 km across, with 6 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 10 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 66 cm of snowfall a season, 2,697th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 3rd in South Korea. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (130 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (33 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 24 cm.

95% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
