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.

Nachwuchsförderzentrum "Reithlift", in Germany, runs from 832 m at the base to 951 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.6 km across, with 3 marked runs and 1 lift (about 1.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 140 cm of snowfall a season, 1,801st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 44th in Germany. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (211 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (78 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 51 cm.
