12 / 100 Powder Score
Thin ☁️

Mt. Timothy Ski Area is a ski area in Canada, at about 1,506 m. Its mapped area is about 3.1 km across, with 38 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 26 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 117 cm of snowfall a season, 2,129th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 128th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (157 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (74 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (33 and 30 cm on average).

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.
