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.

Score breakdown
The five add up to the 100-point Powder Score: more fresh snow, more on the way and colder air all push it up. How we measure
Venet, in Austria, runs from 776 m at the base to 2,205 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 5.9 km across, with 20 marked runs and 8 lifts (about 17 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 235 cm of snowfall a season, 823rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 105th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (326 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (145 cm). March still brings 57 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
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.

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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotecklift / Tobadill | 7.8 km | 229 cm | 885 |
| Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis | 12.0 km | 221 cm | 945 |
| Hochzeiger | 12.0 km | 276 cm | 589 |
| Fendels | 12.0 km | 243 cm | 780 |
| See | 13.0 km | 275 cm | 593 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in January. March brings 81% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Austria (75%). In amount, March brings 57 cm, more than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 235 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 145 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 326 cm (2.2 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
