Centre de Ski Le Relais
Centre de Ski Le Relais is a ski area in Canada, at about 385 m. Its mapped area is about 2.2 km across, with 24 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 16 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 199 cm of snowfall a season, 1,158th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 39th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2020/21 (153 cm), reached 77% of the average. March still brings 48 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
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.

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 199 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2020/21 with 153 cm; the biggest was 2016/17 with 255 cm (1.7 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
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
57% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

Lift types
- T-bar2
