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.

Tawaitnaw Cross Country Ski Trails, in Canada, runs from 617 m at the base to 684 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.9 km across, with 26 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 8 km of piste in all).

It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (108 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (33 cm).
