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.
Romme, in France, runs from 1,193 m at the base to 1,404 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.5 km across, with 8 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 3.5 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 214 cm of snowfall a season, 1,008th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 132nd in France. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (332 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (114 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 67 cm.

Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.
The most snow falls in January. March brings 66% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in France (77%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 44 cm, less than the median of 55 cm.

Across 2,888 ski areas: 39% of American runs are graded advanced or harder, and 9% of Austrian ones. Nobody thinks Austria is four times gentler. The grades are measuring different things.
