No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.
A weather-model figure, worked out the same way for every ski area, and lower than what actually falls. Use it to compare ski areas, not against the resort’s own totals. How we measure →
- Elevation

- 0.5 km
Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.
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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in January. March brings 39% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Germany (47%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 18 cm, less than the median of 27 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 113 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 58 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 208 cm (3.6 times as much). For 35% of the 75 ski areas in Germany the leanest winter was 2016/17; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
