Ski Cape Smokey

Off season

Ski Cape Smokey is a ski area in Canada, at about 142 m. Its mapped area is about 1.4 km across, with 23 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 6.7 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 291 cm of snowfall a season, 514th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 13th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2024/25 (220 cm), reached 76% of the average. March still brings 72 cm on average, close to February, its snowiest month.

Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.

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.
