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
Zauchensee-Flachauwinkl, in Austria, runs from 1,011 m at the base to 2,109 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 7.4 km across, with 75 marked runs and 14 lifts (about 38 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 268 cm of snowfall a season, 631st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 62nd in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (440 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (172 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (73 and 72 cm on average).
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.

Which way the slopes face
65% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.

Live cameras
This ski area does not put a camera on its own slopes. What follows are nearby cameras, not the pistes themselves.

How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ski amadé | 5.8 km | 287 cm | 534 |
| Shuttleberg Flachauwinkl-Kleinarl | 6.6 km | 266 cm | 637 |
| Radstadt-Altenmarkt | 8.6 km | 232 cm | 853 |
| Flachau | 9.0 km | 266 cm | 637 |
| Obertauern | 9.2 km | 262 cm | 660 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings 86% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Austria (75%). In amount, March brings 62 cm, more than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 268 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2025/26 with 172 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 440 cm (2.6 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
