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.

Weinebene, in Austria, runs from 1,598 m at the base to 1,843 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.5 km across, with 27 marked runs and 8 lifts (about 13 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 105 cm of snowfall a season, 2,319th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 216th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (196 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (48 cm).

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

The most snow falls in February. March brings 89% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Austria (75%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 24 cm, less than the median of 49 cm.
