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.

Red Lodge Mountain, in United States, runs from 2,161 m at the base to 2,858 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 4.7 km across, with 58 marked runs and 7 lifts (about 34 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 139 cm of snowfall a season, 1,816th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 237th in the United States. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022/23 (197 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (79 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (32 and 25 cm on average).

93% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
