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 5,577ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Is Yundola a good place to ski or board?

the base does not get especially deepit sees more rain than mostthe season is shorter than average

On 10 years of record, Yundola is a mixed picture: the base does not get especially deep, it sees more rain than most and the season is shorter than average. It can still ski well in a good year — 2017/18 produced 120in — but the averages argue for flexibility on timing.

Figures are modelled at 5,577ft from reanalysis data and describe an average year, not a forecast.

Yundola snow record in detail

How much snow does Yundola get?

Yundola averages 96in of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is below average: more snow than 38% 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 2017/18 with 120in, and the leanest was 2022/23 with 76in — a difference of 44in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 94in.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 21in and 9 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Yundola?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Yundola the snowpack peaks at an average of 22in each season. That is well below average, deeper than 23% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 13in through the month and topping out around 18in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Yundola get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Yundola averages 2 powder days a season. That is about average, more powder days than 43% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

January has the most, 0.5 on average.

How often does Yundola get bluebird days?

Yundola averages 11 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 63% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

January is the best month for it, averaging 2.3 bluebird days and 6.4 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Yundola?

At mid-mountain Yundola sees an average of 52 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is well above average: 78% 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 19.7 rain days and 4.3in on average.

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

Yundola typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around January 26 through to February 19, which works out at roughly 25 days of skiable cover in an average year. 44 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is well below average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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

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 Yundola are taken at 5,577ft. Corpus last rebuilt September 2, 2026.
