Poley Mountain Ski Area
Poley Mountain Ski Area is a ski area in Canada, at about 208 m. Its mapped area is about 1.5 km across, with 38 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 13 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 189 cm of snowfall a season, 1,248th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 47th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2019/20 (135 cm), reached 71% of the average. January is usually the snowiest month, with about 56 cm.
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

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.
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 79% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Canada (79%). In amount, March brings 44 cm, more than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 189 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2019/20 with 135 cm; the biggest was 2014/15 with 261 cm (1.9 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
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.

The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
74% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
