Runs by difficulty

blue 53.5%
red 33.1%
black 13.4%

The split comes from OpenStreetMap. A run with no difficulty tag falls into none of the three bars, so they can add up to less than the resort total. The split itself is computed from OpenStreetMap measurements, which cover 401.2 km of runs.

This is snowfall, not snow depth on the slope: it says how much usually falls in a given month, not how much lies there. The measuring point sits close to the valley floor, so higher up it snows more.
