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.

Gohrersberg – Kreuzthal, in Germany, runs from 809 m at the base to 946 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.8 km across, with 5 marked runs and 1 lift (about 2.7 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 35th in Germany. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (278 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (103 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 62 cm.
