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.

Sirdal Skisenter, in Norway, runs from 561 m at the base to 920 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.5 km across, with 27 marked runs and 11 lifts (about 15 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 449 cm of snowfall a season, 110th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 19th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2014/15 (735 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (265 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 134 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.
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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fidjeland Skitrekk | 8.4 km | 486 cm | 87 |
| Ådneram Skitrekk | 12.0 km | 486 cm | 87 |
| Bjørnestad Skisenter | 32.0 km | 363 cm | 243 |
| Ljosland skisenter | 32.0 km | 378 cm | 208 |
| Bortelid Skisenter | 38.0 km | 361 cm | 246 |
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
80% 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 January. March brings 65% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Norway (75%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 87 cm, more than the median of 47 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 449 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2025/26 with 265 cm; the biggest was 2014/15 with 735 cm (2.8 times as much). For 34% of the 135 ski areas in Norway, the leanest winter was the same 2025/26: 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.
