Sovereign Lake Nordic Club
Sovereign Lake Nordic Club is a ski area in Canada, at about 1,659 m. Within 2.2 km of its centre the map shows 1 marked run (about 0.2 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 113 cm of snowfall a season, 2,196th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 132nd in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (156 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (75 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (38 and 29 cm on average).
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.

Runs and lifts
Counted from the marked runs and lifts on the map, within 2.2 km of the centre of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
By difficulty
Source: OpenStreetMap (ODbL 1.0). How finely ski areas are drawn varies by region, so treat the counts as indicative. Difficulty uses the European grades, which do not map onto North American green / blue / black.
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.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Star Mountain Resort | 4.3 km | 132 cm | 1929 |
| Larch Hills Nordic Ski Trails | 41 km | 127 cm | 2001 |
