Porte Puymorens
Porte Puymorens is a ski area in France, on slopes between roughly 2,092 and 2,092 m. Its mapped area is about 5.2 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 247 cm of snowfall a season, 757th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 104th in France. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (408 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2022/23 (111 cm). March still brings 65 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.
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.

- A Black Run in Colorado and a Black Run in Austria Are Not the Same Thing. The Maps Prove It. Across 2,888 ski areas: 39% of American runs are graded advanced or harder, and 9% of Austrian ones. Nobody thinks Austria is four times gentler. The grades are measuring different things.
- How Big Are Japan's Ski Areas? Smaller Than the Alps, Snowier per Kilometre Measured across nearly 1,800 ski areas: the median Japanese one has 12 km of piste against France's 25. What Japan has instead is 25 cm of seasonal snow for every kilometre of run — more than two and a half times France and three times the United States.
