Figures showed that snow depth reaches 192 centimeters at ski resorts in Hakkari and Ergan, both located in eastern Türkiye, while Kartalkaya in Bolu, northwestern Türkiye, recorded 185 centimeters.

Nemrut Ski Resort in eastern Türkiye measured 162 centimeters, followed by Kümbet in northern Türkiye with 138 centimeters and Konaklı in eastern Türkiye with 137 centimeters.

Several well-known ski destinations continue to report strong snow coverage, including Sarıkamış in northeastern Türkiye with 129 centimeters, Yıldızdağı in central Türkiye with 120 centimeters, Uludağ in Bursa, northwestern Türkiye, with 116 centimeters, and Erciyes in Kayseri, central Türkiye, with 98 centimeters.
