Tjamstanbackana
Tjamstanbackana is a ski area in Sweden, at about 403 m. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across.
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 42nd in Sweden. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2016/17 (84 cm), reached 74% of the average. December brings as much snow as January here (35 and 32 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.

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.
How much snow it gets

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings 75% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Sweden (67%). In amount, March brings 24 cm, about the same as the median of 25 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 113 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 84 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 149 cm (1.8 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.
