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.

Score breakdown
The five add up to the 100-point Powder Score: more fresh snow, more on the way and colder air all push it up. How we measure
Mariazeller Bürgeralpe is a ski area in Austria, at about 1,100 m. Within 2.5 km of its centre the map shows 16 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 11 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 213 cm of snowfall a season, 1,022nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 137th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (381 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (123 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 71 cm.

Live cameras
This ski area does not put a camera on its own slopes. What follows are nearby cameras, not the pistes themselves.
Footage remains the copyright of each operator. JAPANSNOWLINE neither stores nor redistributes it.
Some cameras here are provided by Windy.com. Footage plays in Windy’s own player; we do not store it. Windy.com
How much snow it gets

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in January. March brings 54% 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. In amount, March brings 38 cm, less than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 213 cm, and 8 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 123 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 381 cm (3.1 times as much). For 39% of the 243 ski areas in Austria the leanest winter was 2016/17; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
