Bear Mountain Nordic Ski Trails is a ski area in Canada, at about 897 m. Its mapped area is about 3.9 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 78 cm of snowfall a season, 2,611th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 155th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (149 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2023/24 (46 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (21 and 19 cm on average).

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.

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 December. March brings 95% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Canada (79%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 18 cm, less than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 78 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2023/24 with 46 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 149 cm (3.2 times as much). For 26% of the 171 ski areas in Canada, the leanest winter was the same 2023/24: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
