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.

Niederalpl, in Austria, runs from 1,054 m at the base to 1,418 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.2 km across, with 13 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 7.3 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 178 cm of snowfall a season, 1,335th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 179th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (304 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (108 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 57 cm.

71% 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.
