These are readings from weather stations at fixed, flat sites. They say nothing about avalanche danger — for that, only the official avalanche warning services count: in Switzerland the SLF avalanche bulletin, in Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino avalanche.report, in Bavaria the Bavarian avalanche warning service, plus our map of all European services on the avalanche page (German). Slope conditions and resort snow depth are published by the ski areas themselves.
All values come from the networks of three official services and are licensed under CC BY 4.0.
Changes made by us: selection of stations (Germany: above 600 m and the Alpine foothills), rounding to whole centimetres, calculation of the 24- and 72-hour change, grouping by country and elevation band, display on a map. The readings themselves are unchanged. SLF data are raw data that the SLF does not routinely correct.
Stations measure at a fixed, flat, sheltered site — often in the valley or away from the pistes. Pistes are groomed and covered with machine-made snow; their depth is in the resort’s snow report, not in official networks.
The page is rebuilt every hour. The Swiss IMIS stations measure every 30 minutes, the Austrian TAWES stations every 10 minutes. The German Weather Service publishes snow depth once a day as a morning reading, available around noon the next day.
The difference between the current value and the same station’s value 24 or 72 hours earlier. A plus means new snow; a minus means settling, melting or wind drift. For Switzerland the 72-hour comparison uses the SLF daily value.
The “Snow by elevation” table answers this from the current readings: for each elevation band, how many stations report snow, the median and the maximum.
No. Avalanche danger depends on the snowpack structure, wind and temperature. Only the bulletin of the responsible avalanche warning service counts.
