Estación Invernal Fuentes de Invierno
Estación Invernal Fuentes de Invierno is a ski area in Spain, at about 1,695 m. Its mapped area is about 2.5 km across, with 16 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 9.3 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 250 cm of snowfall a season, 734th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 8th in Spain. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (613 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (121 cm). March still brings 61 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.
Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.
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 January. March brings 87% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Spain (102%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 61 cm, more than the median of 52 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 250 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 121 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 613 cm (5.1 times as much). For 38% of the 34 ski areas in Spain, the leanest winter was the same 2015/16: 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
93% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
