Brunnalm / St. Jakob is a ski area in Austria, at about 1,972 m. Its mapped area is about 4.0 km across, with 40 marked runs and 7 lifts (about 22 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 216 cm of snowfall a season, 988th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 131st in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (399 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (132 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (64 and 52 cm on average).

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.

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. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |

| Sillian - Hochpustertal | 15 km | 180 cm | 1320 |
| Gsieser Tal | 17 km | 174 cm | 1378 |
| Kartitsch / St. Oswald | 21 km | 190 cm | 1240 |
| Kals-Matrei | 21 km | 236 cm | 816 |

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 53 cm, about the same as the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 216 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 132 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 399 cm (3.0 times as much). For 39% of the 243 ski areas in Austria, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
