Osceola Ski & Sport Resort is a ski area in United States, at about 381 m. Its mapped area is about 2.2 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 201 cm of snowfall a season, 1,140th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 87th in the United States. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2024/25 (258 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (105 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 62 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 55% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in the United States (85%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 34 cm, about the same as the median of 30 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 201 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 105 cm; the biggest was 2024/25 with 258 cm (2.5 times as much). For 33% of the 534 ski areas in the United States, the leanest winter was the same 2015/16: 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.
