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.

Športcentrum Oščadnica, in Slovakia, runs from 461 m at the base to 563 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.5 km across, with 1 marked run and 1 lift (about 0.4 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 111 cm of snowfall a season, 2,224th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 26th in Slovakia. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (181 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (56 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 38 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.

Which way the slopes face
100% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
