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.

Werfenweng, in Austria, runs from 898 m at the base to 1,828 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 5.8 km across, with 30 marked runs and 9 lifts (about 22 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 243 cm of snowfall a season, 780th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 100th in Austria.
