Why snow base stats?
It is relevant if you want to get a feel for how deep the snow will be where you ski.Some resorts get plenty of snowfall but the snow depth or base left behind may not be equally great. The snow melts and there is less left behind.


Depending on where you travel,you will encounter different statistics. The American resorts love reporting annual snowfalls, whereas the rest of the world is more inclined on reporting the snow base cover. Which is better ...perhaps you decide? Compiled are stats from 47 best resorts.
