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.

Hauser Kaibling, in Austria, runs from 724 m at the base to 2,004 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 6.6 km across, with 48 marked runs and 11 lifts (about 30 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 299 cm of snowfall a season, 484th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 32nd in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (532 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (199 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 86 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.
