FONNA Glacier Ski Resort is a ski area in Norway, at about 1,418 m. Its mapped area is about 2.7 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 783 cm of snowfall a season, 1st of 3,069 worldwide and 1st in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (1,350 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2020/21 (479 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (223 and 211 cm on average).
The nearest city of any size is Bergen, about 65 km away.

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.
