Kittelfjäll is a ski area in Sweden, at about 805 m. Its mapped area is about 3.3 km across, with 26 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 12 km of piste in all).
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 9th in Sweden. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (276 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (111 cm). March still brings 48 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

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.
