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 Katschberg?

The operator’s ski page, checked on 8 November 2026, gives the 2026/27 season as 4 December 2026 to 28 March 2027. The official lift and slope status shows what is open on a given day.[1][4]

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

From the operator’s interactive ski map (Intermaps), which the region’s ski page links. It lists each lift and piste as open or closed. On 8 November 2026 its last update was 1 November, before the season. Ski routes and cross-country trails are not counted as pistes.[1][4]

Is the snow depth measured on the slopes?

No. Snow depth comes from the GeoSphere Austria station at Katschberghöhe, 1,635 m, close to the Almbahn valley station. It is a point observation, not a piste or resort-wide depth. If the gauge reports no value, the page shows snow depth as unavailable.[5][2]
