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.

SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser Brixental, in Austria, runs from 609 m at the base to 1,865 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 21 km across, with 426 marked runs and 80 lifts (about 234 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 193 cm of snowfall a season, 1,217th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 170th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (354 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (111 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 67 cm.

How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kitzbühel | 11.0 km | 248 cm | 748 |
| Niederau (Wildschönau) | 12.0 km | 230 cm | 877 |
| St. Johann in Tirol | 14.0 km | 248 cm | 748 |
| Zahmer Kaiser | 20.0 km | 182 cm | 1298 |
| Wildkogel | 21.0 km | 291 cm | 514 |
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
54% 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 55% 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 37 cm, less than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 193 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 111 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 354 cm (3.2 times as much). For 28% of the 243 ski areas in Austria, the leanest winter was the same 2024/25: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
