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.

San Martino di Castrozza, in Italy, runs from 1,402 m at the base to 2,351 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 7.9 km across, with 64 marked runs and 22 lifts (about 43 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 204 cm of snowfall a season, 1,117th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 56th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (386 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (77 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (50 and 41 cm on average).
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.

Which way the slopes face
56% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 59 cm, more than the median of 48 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 204 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2021/22 with 77 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 386 cm (5.0 times as much). For 55% of the 177 ski areas in Italy, the leanest winter was the same 2021/22: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
