How we calculate this

Wet-bulb: Stull (2011), a near sea-level approximation. Alpine pressure effects and very cold, dry conditions limit accuracy. Potential hours use a −2°C threshold; equipment, water and operating decisions remain unknown. Snow balance uses wet-bulb precipitation partition and a configurable degree-day melt factor. Uncalibrated research model.

How this comparison works+

Daily comparison selects the nearest stored issue to 24 hours earlier (within 6 hours); weekly uses 7 days (within 12 hours). At least six consecutive future hours must match. Source and model version must agree. The comparison describes changes in that forecast period.

This view uses a single forecast. Probabilities and historical accuracy scores are not available.

Before your ski day

When can you ski at Garmisch-Classic?

Opening days are set by the operator and depend on snow. The operator’s status pages, checked on 8 November 2026, are the reference; this page shows their lift and piste counts where PisteWindow can read them.[4]

Where do the lift status and snow depth on this page come from?

Lift and slope status comes from the operator’s interactive ski map (Intermaps). Snow depth comes from the Bavarian avalanche service station Osterfelder at 1,800 m in the ski area and the German Weather Service valley station Garmisch-Partenkirchen at 719 m (a valley reference).[4][5][6]

Are the 740, 1,400 and 2,050 m forecasts for Garmisch-Classic observations?

No. They are model values adjusted to 740, 1,400 and 2,050 m, calculated at one representative point (Hausbergbahn valley station).[2]

Does this page also cover Zugspitze and Wank?

No. Zugspitze and Wank are separate ski areas and are not covered here; this page covers Garmisch-Classic only.[7]
