Hohenbogen is a ski area in Germany. It sits at about 820 m above sea level. The mapped ski area is about 1.8 km across, corner to corner. The map shows 13 marked runs and 2 lifts inside the ski area, totalling about 6 km of piste. Averaged over the last twelve winters, the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 87 cm of snowfall a season, 2510th (tied) of the 3,069 ski areas we measure worldwide. The model runs well below what resorts report, so the ranking is the meaningful part rather than the centimetre figure. 1 official live camera is linked below. 23 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.
Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.
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.

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.

The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
98% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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 straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| DSV Nordic Aktivzentrum Althütte | 17 km | 63 cm | 2725 |
| Skilift Riedlberg | 18 km | 141 cm | 1791 |
| Großer Arber | 19 km | 170 cm | 1416 |
| Samoty | 24 km | 162 cm | 1517 |

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 26% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Germany (47%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 10 cm, less than the median of 27 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 87 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 46 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 162 cm (3.5 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
