Modum skisenter is a ski area in Norway, at about 255 m. Within 2.5 km of its centre the map shows 1 marked run and 1 lift (about 2.9 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 133 cm of snowfall a season, 1,909th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 113th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (203 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (62 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 46 cm.

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 January. March brings 63% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Norway (75%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 29 cm, less than the median of 47 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 133 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 62 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 203 cm (3.3 times as much). For 27% of the 135 ski areas in Norway, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
