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 runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
52% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 67% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Sweden (67%). In amount, March brings 30 cm, more than the median of 25 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 137 cm, and 4 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 100 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 155 cm (1.6 times as much). For 39% of the 69 ski areas in Sweden, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
