RIGHT NOW · ONE RESORT PER REGION
The snow world, live
One marquee resort from each region — its model snow depth this minute, and the fresh snow the model expects. Tap through for the region’s full table: depth, the 3-day forecast, temperature and the freezing level.
In season now — the southern winter (June–October)
While the north is in summer, the skiing lives south of the equator — the Andes, New Zealand and the Australian Alps are mid-season right now.
Northern hemisphere — the season returns in December
North of the equator the seasons are flipped: the ski season runs roughly December–April, so these regions are in their summer half of the year right now. Their model readings are live either way — a resort honestly reading 0 cm in July IS the data.
How to read the numbers
Snow depth is the weather model’s reading at the resort’s coordinates — not the resort’s own reported base, which snowmaking and grooming can push higher. No surface here claims lift status or piste conditions. The depth ladder below describes model snow cover, never piste conditions, grooming or lift status:
Model snow depth — the cover ladder
The freezing levelis the altitude where the air hits 0 °C — the snow line. When it sits below a resort’s elevation, precipitation arrives as snow. These unpack the science and the map:
