Reading this table

Snowy days are days with at least 1 cm of snowfall, so they tell you how likely you are to see fresh snow during a week's stay. The share column shows how much of the resort's yearly snowfall arrives in March: a high share early in the season means the base is still building. Temperatures are the average daily low and high at mid-mountain, and long spells above freezing mean heavier, wetter snow. All figures are averages over 2016 to 2025 from ERA5 reanalysis, so a single year can look very different. We do not show snowfall in centimetres because the record underestimates it in the mountains. Resorts are included when their usual season covers March, but check this season's dates before you book.
