Fagerfjell skisenter
Fagerfjell skisenter is a ski area in Norway, at about 695 m. Within 2.5 km of its centre the map shows 1 marked run and 2 lifts (about 2.1 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 196 cm of snowfall a season, 1,184th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 71st in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (292 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (109 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 61 cm.
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.
