Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area

Off season

Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area is a ski area in Canada, at about 370 m. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across, with 12 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 5.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 146 cm of snowfall a season, 1,714th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 87th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2023/24 (100 cm), reached 68% of the average. January is usually the snowiest month, with about 44 cm.

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.

Winter by winter

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 146 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2023/24 with 100 cm; the biggest was 2022/23 with 179 cm (1.8 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.
