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.

Șuior, in Romania, runs from 681 m at the base to 1,231 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.2 km across, with 7 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 4.6 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 130 cm of snowfall a season, 1,954th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 14th in Romania. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (225 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (63 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 50 cm.

85% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
