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.
Flattnitz, in Austria, runs from 1,390 m at the base to 1,516 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.7 km across, with 7 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 8.4 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 160 cm of snowfall a season, 1,541st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 189th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (264 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (80 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (46 and 38 cm on average).
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.

| Turracher Höhe | 11.0 km | 191 cm | 1235 |
| Kreischberg | 16.0 km | 130 cm | 1954 |
| Heidialm | 16.0 km | 177 cm | 1348 |

Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
76% 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 December. March brings 92% 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 35 cm, less than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 160 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 80 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 264 cm (3.3 times as much). For 39% of the 243 ski areas in Austria, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
