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.

Glungezer, in Austria, runs from 940 m at the base to 2,298 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 6.9 km across, with 16 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 13 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 245 cm of snowfall a season, 765th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 92nd in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (400 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (150 cm). March still brings 61 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

Compared with what is nearby

Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.

68% 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

Winter by winter

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 245 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 150 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 400 cm (2.7 times as much). For 39% of the 243 ski areas in Austria, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
