Ottsjö
Ottsjö is a ski area in Sweden, at about 709 m. Its mapped area is about 4.4 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 161 cm of snowfall a season, 1,527th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 15th in Sweden. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (247 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (112 cm). March still brings 44 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.
