Belle Neige is a ski area in Canada, at about 391 m. Its mapped area is about 0.9 km across, with 25 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 7.5 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 166 cm of snowfall a season, 1,457th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 58th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2014/15 (120 cm), reached 72% of the average. January is usually the snowiest month, with about 48 cm.
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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vallée Bleue | 2.4 km | 166 cm | 1457 |
| Ski Chantecler | 6.2 km | 164 cm | 1485 |
| Ski Mont Gabriel | 10 km | 164 cm | 1485 |
| Ski Mont Avalanche | 11 km | 167 cm | 1449 |
| Ski Morin Heights | 12 km | 167 cm | 1449 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 69% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Canada (79%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 33 cm, about the same as the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 166 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2014/15 with 120 cm; the biggest was 2022/23 with 222 cm (1.9 times as much). For 28% of the 171 ski areas in Canada, the leanest winter was the same 2014/15: 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.

The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
91% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
