Weißer Stein
Weißer Stein is a ski area in Germany, at about 678 m. Within 2.5 km of its centre the map shows 1 marked run and 2 lifts (about 0.9 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 82 cm of snowfall a season, 2,562nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 63rd in Germany. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (145 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2023/24 (40 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 32 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.
