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 6,234ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

November is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 27in and 8 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Folgarida?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Folgarida the snowpack peaks at an average of 50in each season. That is well above average, deeper than 85% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in March, averaging 39in through the month and topping out around 45in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Folgarida get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Folgarida averages 5 powder days a season. That is well above average, more powder days than 80% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

November has the most, 1.4 on average.

How often does Folgarida get bluebird days?

Folgarida averages 15 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is well above average, more than 75% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

November is the best month for it, averaging 3.2 bluebird days and 6.5 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Folgarida?

At mid-mountain Folgarida sees an average of 31 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is about average: 48% 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 19.6 rain days and 4.7in on average.

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

Folgarida typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around December 4 through to May 3, which works out at roughly 152 days of skiable cover in an average year. 148 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is well above 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 Folgarida are taken at 6,234ft. Corpus last rebuilt September 2, 2026.
