Tuckerman Ravine
Tuckerman Ravine is a ski area in United States, at about 1,113 m. Within 1.9 km of its centre the map shows 20 marked runs (about 6.4 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 214 cm of snowfall a season, 1,008th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 79th in the United States. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022/23 (284 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (111 cm). March still brings 51 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
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 1.9 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.
Live Cameras
This ski area does not put a camera on its own slopes. What follows are nearby cameras, not the pistes themselves.
Footage remains the copyright of each operator. JAPANSNOWLINE neither stores nor redistributes it.
Some cameras here are provided by Windy.com. Footage plays in Windy’s own player; we do not store it. Windy.com

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 85% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in the United States (85%). In amount, March brings 51 cm, more than the median of 30 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 214 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 111 cm; the biggest was 2022/23 with 284 cm (2.6 times as much). For 33% of the 534 ski areas in the United States, the leanest winter was the same 2015/16: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
