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 1,742ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Levi snow record in detail

How much snow does Levi get?

Levi averages 64in of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is well below average: more snow than 8% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median season brings 116in.

Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2019/20 with 83in, and the leanest was 2025/26 with 52in — a difference of 30in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 52in.

December is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 14in 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 32in each season. That is about average, deeper than 41% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 27in through the month and topping out around 31in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Levi get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Levi averages 0 powder days a season. That is well below average, more powder days than fewer than every other resort in the set, where the median is 2 a season.

December has the most, 0.0 on average.

How often does Levi get bluebird days?

Levi averages 1 bluebird day a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is well below average, more than 10% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

November is the best month for it, averaging 0.2 bluebird days and 0.9 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Levi?

At mid-mountain Levi sees an average of 13 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is well below average: 8% 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 7.2 rain days and 1.4in on average.

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

Levi typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around November 29 through to May 11, 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.

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 Levi are taken at 1,742ft. Corpus last rebuilt September 2, 2026.
