30 cm on the ground: the benchmark for groomed-piste skiing. Bar = monthly average depth; percentage = share of time above 30 cm.

Good skiing: 30 cm on more than 8 days in 10
Variable: 30 cm on 5 to 8 days in 10
Insufficient: 30 cm less than one day in two

Estimate from the ERA5-Land reanalysis (Open-Meteo), about 9 km grid at 1,595 m. Not a resort measurement: during the season the daily report prevails. The percentage is the share of time with at least 30 cm on the ground.

Measured snow history: not available for this resort. No Météo-France station close enough (the 11 nearby stations are outside the resort’s altitude range). We would rather show nothing than borrow a distant valley’s reading.

Why altitude matters. Chaillol 1600 stretches from 1,553 m to 1,790 m: snow lies longest at the top of the ski area, which is why the two depths are reported separately.
