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.

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.

Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.

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

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). For 35% of the 75 ski areas in Germany, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
