Duck Mountain Ski Area is a ski area in Canada, at about 600 m. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across, with 20 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 7.1 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 65 cm of snowfall a season, 2,704th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 161st in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (104 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2019/20 (45 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (16 and 16 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.

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
81% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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.
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 19 cm, less than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 65 cm, and 9 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2019/20 with 45 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 104 cm (2.3 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
