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.Snow report on the official site ↗
Prato Leventina, in Switzerland, runs from 1,044 m at the base to 1,272 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.6 km across, with 8 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 5.2 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 257 cm of snowfall a season, 680th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 136th in Switzerland. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (498 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (134 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (60 and 60 cm on average).

Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 257 cm, and 9 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2021/22 with 134 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 498 cm (3.7 times as much). For 47% of the 283 ski areas in Switzerland the leanest winter was 2016/17; here it was a different one.
Across 3,069 ski areas we measure, height and snowfall move together — +0.58 in France, +0.85 in Germany. In Japan the figure is +0.02. The reason is not that elevation stopped working.
