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.

Katschberg-Aineck, in Austria, runs from 1,054 m at the base to 2,211 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 8.6 km across, with 76 marked runs and 18 lifts (about 52 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 194 cm of snowfall a season, 1,201st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 169th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (291 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (113 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (55 and 50 cm on average).

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Großeck-Speiereck | 6.3 km | 196 cm | 1184 |
| Fanningberg | 11.0 km | 227 cm | 899 |
| Obertauern | 22.0 km | 262 cm | 660 |
| Turracher Höhe | 23.0 km | 191 cm | 1235 |
| Heidialm | 26.0 km | 177 cm | 1348 |
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
82% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings 82% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Austria (75%). In amount, March brings 41 cm, less than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 194 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 113 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 291 cm (2.6 times as much). For 39% of the 243 ski areas in Austria, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
