No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.

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.

Skigebiet / Rodelgebiet Laubendorf, in Germany, runs from 334 m at the base to 363 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.3 km across, with 20 marked runs and 1 lift (about 1.1 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 38 cm of snowfall a season, 2,893rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 75th in Germany. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (73 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (15 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 18 cm.
How much snow it gets
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skilift Burgbernheim | 32.0 km | 42 cm | 2870 |
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
98% 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
The most snow falls in January. March brings 17% 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 3 cm, less than the median of 27 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 38 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 15 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 73 cm (4.9 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
