Summit Lake Ski & Snowboard Area

Off season Official site

Summit Lake Ski & Snowboard Area is a ski area in Canada, at about 843 m. Its mapped area is about 1.1 km across, with 10 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 3.6 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 275 cm of snowfall a season, 593rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 16th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (359 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (161 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (79 and 63 cm on average).

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.
