Wapiti

Off season

Wapiti is a ski area in Canada, at about 1,480 m. Its mapped area is about 1.6 km across, with 22 marked runs and 1 lift (about 8.9 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 123 cm of snowfall a season, 2,056th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 121st in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2018/19 (85 cm), reached 69% of the average. December brings as much snow as January here (38 and 18 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.

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.
