Nordic Zentrum Oberstdorf
Nordic Zentrum Oberstdorf is a ski area in Germany, at about 831 m. Its mapped area is about 0.4 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 272 cm of snowfall a season, 608th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 8th in Germany. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (432 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (167 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 94 cm.
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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 57% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Germany (47%). In amount, March brings 54 cm, more than the median of 27 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 272 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 167 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 432 cm (2.6 times as much). For 35% of the 75 ski areas in Germany, the leanest winter was the same 2016/17: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
