No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.
A weather-model figure, worked out the same way for every ski area, and lower than what actually falls. Use it to compare ski areas, not against the resort’s own totals. How we measure →
Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.
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.

Schratten Flühli is a ski area in Switzerland, at about 1,121 m. Its mapped area is about 1.3 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 242 cm of snowfall a season, 787th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 156th in Switzerland. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2015/16 (319 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (135 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 75 cm.
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.
