Fort Nelson Demonstration Forest Recreation Site is a ski area in Canada, at about 434 m. Its mapped area is about 3.7 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 61 cm of snowfall a season, 2,738th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 163rd in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (107 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2023/24 (28 cm). March still brings 16 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.

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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 16 cm, less than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 61 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2023/24 with 28 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 107 cm (3.8 times as much). For 26% of the 171 ski areas in Canada, the leanest winter was the same 2023/24: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
