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 ↗
Sangiacomo Cardini, in Italy, runs from 974 m at the base to 1,605 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.4 km across, with 37 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 19 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 217 cm of snowfall a season, 978th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 48th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (450 cm), brought more than 6 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (72 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (51 and 44 cm on average).
