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 6,775ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Cerler snow record in detail

How much snow does Cerler get?

Cerler averages 152in of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is well above average: more snow than 77% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median season brings 107in.

Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2017/18 with 241in, and the leanest was 2022/23 with 90in — a difference of 152in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 173in.

March is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 36in and 11 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Cerler?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Cerler the snowpack peaks at an average of 35in each season. That is about average, deeper than 59% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 23in through the month and topping out around 31in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Cerler get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Cerler averages 6 powder days a season. That is well above average, more powder days than 85% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

March has the most, 1.5 on average.

How often does Cerler get bluebird days?

Cerler averages 16 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 74% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 9.

March is the best month for it, averaging 3.2 bluebird days and 8.4 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Cerler?

At mid-mountain Cerler sees an average of 42 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is above average: 62% of the 39 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 14.6 rain days and 3.7in on average.

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

Cerler typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around January 8 through to March 17, which works out at roughly 69 days of skiable cover in an average year. 73 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is below 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, March; for fresh snow with sunshine, March.

Comparisons use 39 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 Cerler are taken at 6,775ft. Corpus last rebuilt September 2, 2026.

Cerler month by month

What to expect in each month of the season, from the same ten-year record. Figures are averages for mid-mountain; a good or poor winter can move them a long way.

Cerler in November

Too early

Average highs are 39°F and lows 26°F, with 6.7 hours of sunshine a day and 1.5 bluebird days. Rain is a real risk: 6.6 days with rain rather than snow at mid-mountain in an average November.

Cerler in December

Early and thin

December is the start of the season at Cerler: the base averages 9in, which is skiable in a good year but patchy in a poor one. It brings 22in of new snow in an average year, with 8 snow days and 0.9 powder days. Average highs are 37°F and lows 22°F, with 6.4 hours of sunshine a day and 2.1 bluebird days. Expect the odd wet day — 3.2 on average at mid-mountain.

Cerler in January

Base building

Cerler in February

Best all round

Cerler in April

Thinning out

In April the base is down to an average of 7in, enough on the upper mountain in most years but not something to count on lower down. It brings 22in of new snow in an average year, with 7 snow days and 1.1 powder days. Average highs are 43°F and lows 28°F, with 9.6 hours of sunshine a day and 2.9 bluebird days.
