Hinterstoder
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.
Hinterstoder, in Austria, runs from 589 m at the base to 1,987 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 5.8 km across, with 72 marked runs and 19 lifts (about 35 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 305 cm of snowfall a season, 460th of 3,069 worldwide and 27th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (603 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (161 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 95 cm.
The nearest city of any size is Linz, about 72 km away in a straight line.
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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wurzeralm | 9.9 km | 227 cm | 899 |
| Spechtenseelift - Wörschachwald | 14.0 km | 233 cm | 844 |
| Tauplitz / Bad Mitterndorf | 18.0 km | 344 cm | 293 |
| Kaiserau | 29.0 km | 198 cm | 1164 |
| Loser-Altaussee | 31.0 km | 309 cm | 451 |
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
78% 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 January. March brings 66% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Austria (75%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 63 cm, more than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 305 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 161 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 603 cm (3.7 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
