How these numbers are calculated
Powder day — at least 15cm of new snow in 24 hours.
Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 10cm of snow over the previous 3 days.
Rain day — at least 1mm of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
Skiable day — at least 30cm of settled snow on the ground.
Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 1150m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.
How Durău compares
Measured against 40 other resorts across 18 countries, each analysed exactly the same way. The line down the middle of each bar is the median.

Is Durău a good place to ski?
snowfall is on the light sidethe base does not get especially deepthe season is shorter than average
On 10 years of record, Durău is a mixed picture: snowfall is on the light side, the base does not get especially deep and the season is shorter than average. It can still ski well in a good year — 2018/19 produced 127cm — but the averages argue for flexibility on timing.
All of these figures come from 1150m, the mid-mountain height, and describe an average year rather than the one you are about to book. Snow depth here is modelled from reanalysis rather than measured on the hill, so treat it as a guide to how Durău usually behaves, not as a forecast.
Durău snow record in detail
How much snow does Durău get?
Durău averages 92cm of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is well below average: more snow than fewer than every other resort in the set, where the median season brings 283cm.
Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2018/19 with 127cm, and the leanest was 2019/20 with 54cm — a difference of 73cm between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 65cm.
February is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 20cm and 6 days with fresh snow.
How deep does the snow get at Durău?
Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Durău the snowpack peaks at an average of 29cm each season. That is well below average, deeper than fewer than every other resort in the set, against a median peak of 84cm.
The base is deepest in February, averaging 14cm through the month and topping out around 22cm in a typical year.
How many powder days does Durău get?
Counting any day that delivers at least 15cm of new snow, Durău averages 0 powder days a season. That is well below average, more powder days than fewer than every other resort in the set, where the median is 2 a season.
Powder days are not spread evenly. February averages 0.0 of them, which is the single strongest argument for timing a trip around the middle of the season rather than the edges.
How often does Durău get bluebird days?
A bluebird day means sunshine for at least 60% of daylight on the back of at least 10cm of snow in the previous 3 days — fresh snow and clear skies together, which is the combination people actually travel for. Durău averages 1 of them a season. That is well below average, more than 13% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.
April is the best month for it, averaging 0.2 bluebird days and 9.4 hours of sunshine a day.
Does it rain at Durău?
Rain is the thing that ruins a ski week, and at mid-mountain height Durău sees an average of 41 days a season with at least 1mm of rain rather than snow. That is about average: 60% of the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way see fewer wet days, against a median of 32.
May carries the most of it, with 14.8 rain days and 85mm in an average year. Bear in mind these figures are for the middle of the mountain: the base area will be wetter and the top drier.
When is the best time to ski Durău, and when does the season end?
If you want the deepest base, go in February. If you want the best chance of fresh snow, go in February. If you want fresh snow and sunshine together, April gives the most bluebird days. Those rarely fall in the same month, so it is worth deciding which one matters most to you before you book.
Comparisons use 40 resorts across 18 countries, each measured over 5 recent seasons at mid-mountain height. Glaciated locations, where the model never melts the snow out, are excluded. Figures for Durău are taken at 1150m. Corpus last rebuilt 2026-09-02.
