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 →
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.

Turner Mountain Ski Area, in United States, runs from 1,178 m at the base to 1,812 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.4 km across, with 29 marked runs and 1 lift (about 16 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 217 cm of snowfall a season, 978th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 72nd in the United States. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2016/17 (291 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2014/15 (127 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (71 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.
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.
73% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.

The most snow falls in December. March brings 87% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in the United States (85%). In amount, March brings 45 cm, more than the median of 30 cm.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 217 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2014/15 with 127 cm; the biggest was 2016/17 with 291 cm (2.3 times as much). For 33% of the 534 ski areas in the United States the leanest winter was 2015/16; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
