Turufjell Skisenter
Turufjell Skisenter is a ski area in Norway, at about 762 m. Its mapped area is about 1.4 km across, with 7 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 4.6 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 177 cm of snowfall a season, 1,348th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 80th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (276 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (93 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 54 cm.
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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 74% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Norway (75%). In amount, March brings 40 cm, about the same as the median of 47 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 177 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 93 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 276 cm (3.0 times as much). For 27% of the 135 ski areas in Norway, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
