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.

Stari Vrh, in Slovenia, runs from 593 m at the base to 1,183 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.8 km across, with 8 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 7.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 87 cm of snowfall a season, 2,510th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 13th in Slovenia. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (186 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (38 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (26 and 25 cm on average).

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