Area Scistica Zum Zeri
Area Scistica Zum Zeri is a ski area in Italy, at about 1,498 m. Its mapped area is about 1.1 km across, with 10 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 6.1 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 55 cm of snowfall a season, 2,789th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 177th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (109 cm), brought more than 10 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (10 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (15 and 10 cm on average).
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

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.
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in February. March brings 70% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Italy (116%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 7 cm, less than the median of 48 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 55 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 10 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 109 cm (10.9 times as much). For 31% of the 177 ski areas in Italy, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.

Runs and lifts
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.

Which way the slopes face
92% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
