Embergeralm

Off season Official site

Embergeralm is a ski area in Austria, at about 1,853 m. Its mapped area is about 1.7 km across, with 16 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 4.8 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 207 cm of snowfall a season, 1,081st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 148th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (422 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (103 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (58 and 45 cm on average).

Below is a link to its official live camera.

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.
