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 (est.)
- 1,001–1,001 m
- Across
- 15 km
Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.
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.

How much snow it gets
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.

Runs and lifts
Counted from the marked runs and lifts on the map, within 5.4 km of the centre of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
By difficulty
Source: OpenStreetMap (ODbL 1.0). How finely ski areas are drawn varies by region, so treat the counts as indicative. Difficulty uses the European grades, which do not map onto North American green / blue / black.
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in December. March brings 70% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Canada (79%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 149 cm, more than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 710 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2023/24 with 558 cm; the biggest was 2019/20 with 909 cm (1.6 times as much). For 28% of the 171 ski areas in Canada the leanest winter was 2014/15; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
