Silver Summit
No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

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.
Silver Summit, in Canada, runs from 1,207 m at the base to 1,230 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.8 km across, with 9 marked runs and 1 lift (about 6.3 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 93 cm of snowfall a season, 2,449th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 146th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (149 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (52 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 25 cm.
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.
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
97% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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 25 cm, less than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 93 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 52 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 149 cm (2.9 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
