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 of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.
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.

Station de ski de Reallon is a ski area in France, at about 1,818 m. Within 2.5 km of its centre the map shows 30 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 12 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 213 cm of snowfall a season, 1,022nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 133rd in France. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (443 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2014/15 (109 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (59 and 52 cm on average).
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.

The most snow falls in December. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 54 cm, about the same as the median of 55 cm.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 213 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2014/15 with 109 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 443 cm (4.1 times as much). For 26% of the 244 ski areas in France the leanest winter was 2016/17; here it was a different one.
