No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.

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.

Zinkenlifte – Dürrnberg (Hallein), in Austria, runs from 833 m at the base to 1,315 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.1 km across, with 15 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 4.8 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 222 cm of snowfall a season, 934th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 126th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (438 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (146 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 74 cm.
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.

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
91% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in January. March brings 58% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Austria (75%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 43 cm, about the same as the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 222 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 146 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 438 cm (3.0 times as much). For 39% of the 243 ski areas in Austria 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.
