How these numbers are calculated
  • Powder day — at least 6in of new snow in 24 hours.
  • Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 4in of snow over the previous 3 days.
  • Rain day — at least 0.04in of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
  • Skiable day — at least 12in of settled snow on the ground.
  • Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 5,709ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Aprica snow record in detail

How much snow does Aprica get?

Aprica averages 109in of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is about average: more snow than 50% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median season brings 111in.

Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2023/24 with 159in, and the leanest was 2025/26 with 67in — a difference of 92in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 67in.

November is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 20in and 7 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Aprica?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Aprica the snowpack peaks at an average of 41in each season. That is above average, deeper than 70% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in March, averaging 32in through the month and topping out around 38in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Aprica get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Aprica averages 4 powder days a season. That is above average, more powder days than 73% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

November has the most, 0.7 on average.

How often does Aprica get bluebird days?

Aprica averages 14 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is above average, more than 68% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

November is the best month for it, averaging 3.1 bluebird days and 6.6 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Aprica?

At mid-mountain Aprica sees an average of 53 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is well above average: 80% of the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way see fewer wet days, against a median of 32.

May is the wettest month of the season, with 21.7 rain days and 6.4in on average.

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

Aprica typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around December 8 through to April 16, which works out at roughly 131 days of skiable cover in an average year. 117 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is about average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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

Comparisons use 40 resorts across 18 countries, each measured over 5 recent seasons at mid-mountain height. Glaciated locations, where the model never melts the snow out, are excluded. Figures for Aprica are taken at 5,709ft. Corpus last rebuilt September 2, 2026.
