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.

Steinplatte Waidring-Tirol, in Austria, runs from 768 m at the base to 1,853 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 7.0 km across, with 63 marked runs and 16 lifts (about 37 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 230 cm of snowfall a season, 877th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 115th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (490 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (153 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 79 cm.

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.
