Gaberl is a ski area in Austria, at about 1,409 m. Its mapped area is about 1.6 km across, with 6 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 3.5 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 97 cm of snowfall a season, 2,406th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 225th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (182 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (45 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (27 and 26 cm on average).

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

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.

| Schilifte Kleinlobming | 7.9 km | 85 cm | 2528 |
| Schilift Obdach | 18 km | 98 cm | 2397 |

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings 77% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Austria (75%). In amount, March brings 20 cm, less than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 97 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 45 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 182 cm (4.0 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.

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.

The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
99% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
