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.

Grebenzen, in Austria, runs from 1,004 m at the base to 1,869 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 4.8 km across, with 24 marked runs and 7 lifts (about 14 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 99 cm of snowfall a season, 2,386th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 221st in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (155 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (47 cm).

75% 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.
