The Heights Ski & Country Club

Off season Official site

The Heights Ski & Country Club is a ski area in Canada, at about 296 m. Its mapped area is about 1.3 km across, with 26 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 7.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 127 cm of snowfall a season, 2,001st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 114th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2024/25 (180 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (90 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (37 and 37 cm on average).

Below is a link to its official live camera.

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.
