Christlum

Christlum is a ski area in Austria, at about 1,308 m. Its mapped area is about 3.6 km across, with 33 marked runs and 9 lifts (about 16 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 223 cm of snowfall a season, 926th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 125th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (404 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (144 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 71 cm.

Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.

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.

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 223 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 144 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 404 cm (2.8 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.
