No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

Bergbahn Weissensee, in Austria, runs from 932 m at the base to 1,365 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.2 km across, with 9 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 5.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 163 cm of snowfall a season, 1,503rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 184th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (357 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (66 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (46 and 36 cm on average).

57% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

Month by month, the most snow falls in February. March brings 89% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Austria (75%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 32 cm, less than the median of 49 cm.
