Vyšné Krátke
Vyšné Krátke is a ski area in Slovakia, at about 542 m. Its mapped area is about 0.6 km across.
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 40th in Slovakia. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (139 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (48 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 34 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.
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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 32% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Slovakia (40%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 11 cm, about the same as the median of 12 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 97 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 48 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 139 cm (2.9 times as much). For 74% of the 87 ski areas in Slovakia, the leanest winter was the same 2024/25: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
