Foppolo-Carona is a ski area in Italy, on slopes between roughly 2,063 and 2,063 m. Its mapped area is about 5.7 km across, with 30 marked runs and 14 lifts (about 16 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 220 cm of snowfall a season, 953rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 47th in Italy. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (384 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2021/22 (68 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (48 and 46 cm on average).
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.
Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.
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 March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 64 cm, more than the median of 48 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 220 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2021/22 with 68 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 384 cm (5.6 times as much). For 55% of the 177 ski areas in Italy, the leanest winter was the same 2021/22: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
