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.

Snowland, in Slovakia, runs from 505 m at the base to 825 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.5 km across, with 13 marked runs and 7 lifts (about 4.5 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 77 cm of snowfall a season, 2,614th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 64th in Slovakia. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (121 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (37 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 29 cm.

How much snow it gets

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.

The figures are for the whole of “Valčianska dolina”, which the map draws as one ski area.

100% 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

The most snow falls in January. March brings 24% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Slovakia (40%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 7 cm, less than the median of 12 cm.
