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.

Snow Space Salzburg, in Austria, runs from 667 m at the base to 1,977 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 17 km across, with 187 marked runs and 47 lifts (about 87 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 204 cm of snowfall a season, 1,117th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 153rd in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (324 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (128 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 61 cm.
