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.

Parque de Nieve Batea Mahuida, in Argentina, runs from 1,542 m at the base to 1,622 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.7 km across, with 4 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 2.8 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 437 cm of snowfall a season, 122nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 5th in Argentina. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022 (593 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025 (222 cm). Snowfall days average −0.5°C at mid-mountain, close to freezing, so the snow is often heavy, and its snow-quality score ranks 9th of 13 in Argentina.
The nearest city of any size is Temuco, about 118 km away in a straight line.
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
The tick marks the median across every Japanese ski area we measure. All four bars run the same way — longer is better.
The quality score leaves out how much snow falls (it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind).
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Only 19% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. The most common direction is south (74%).

The most snow falls in June. September brings 58% of July’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Argentina (61%). In amount, September brings 71 cm, more than the median of 56 cm.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 437 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2025 with 222 cm; the biggest was 2022 with 593 cm (2.7 times as much). For 62% of the 13 ski areas in Argentina the leanest winter was 2016; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (June–September total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
