Parc régional de Val-d'Irène is a ski area in Canada, at about 683 m. Its mapped area is about 2.5 km across, with 25 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 15 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 204 cm of snowfall a season, 1,117th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 35th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2014/15 (149 cm), reached 73% of the average. March is usually the snowiest month, with about 60 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.

Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
53% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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.
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 60 cm, more than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 204 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2014/15 with 149 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 245 cm (1.6 times as much). For 28% of the 171 ski areas in Canada, the leanest winter was the same 2014/15: 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.
