Snowfall: no long enough record of fresh snow at this station. Rather than an estimate, we show nothing.

Total snow depth on the ground measured at 06:00 at the Météo-France “ST JEAN-ST-NICOLAS” station (1210 m, 3.1 km away), from the open “Daily climatological data” dataset (Open Licence 2.0). The season is counted from 1 December to 15 April; only winters with at least 95 % of those 136 days measured are kept, so no figure here rests on a handful of readings. The reading is taken at 1210 m, well below the top of the ski area (1982 m), where snow lies deeper. In season, the resort’s daily report prevails.
Why altitude matters. Saint-Léger-les-Mélèzes stretches from 1,262 m to 1,982 m: snow lies longest at the top of the ski area, which is why the two depths are reported separately.
