How these numbers are calculated
  • Powder day — at least 15cm of new snow in 24 hours.
  • Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 10cm of snow over the previous 3 days.
  • Rain day — at least 1mm of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
  • Skiable day — at least 30cm of settled snow on the ground.
  • Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 531m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

December is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 35cm and 11 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Levi?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Levi the snowpack peaks at an average of 82cm each season. That is about average, deeper than 41% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 84cm.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 70cm through the month and topping out around 79cm in a typical year.

When is the best time to ski or board Levi, and when does the season end?

Levi typically holds at least 30cm of settled snow from around 29 November through to 11 May, which works out at roughly 165 days of skiable cover in an average year. 162 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is well above average compared with the 39 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

For the deepest base, go in February; for the most new snow, December; for fresh snow with sunshine, November.
