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 1487m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Is Jasná a good place to ski or board?

snowfall is on the light sidethe base does not get especially deepit sees more rain than most

On 10 years of record, Jasná is a mixed picture: snowfall is on the light side, the base does not get especially deep and it sees more rain than most. It can still ski well in a good year — 2018/19 produced 220cm — but the averages argue for flexibility on timing.

Figures are modelled at 1487m from reanalysis data and describe an average year, not a forecast.

Jasná snow record in detail

How much snow does Jasná get?

Jasná averages 158cm of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is well below average: more snow than 8% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median season brings 294cm.

Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2018/19 with 220cm, and the leanest was 2024/25 with 80cm — a difference of 140cm between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 112cm.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 41cm and 11 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Jasná?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Jasná the snowpack peaks at an average of 60cm each season. That is below average, deeper than 26% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 84cm.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 44cm through the month and topping out around 54cm in a typical year.

How many powder days does Jasná get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 15cm of new snow, Jasná 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.

January has the most, 0.0 on average.

How often does Jasná get bluebird days?

Jasná averages 2 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 10cm or more of fresh snow. That is well below average, more than 23% of 39 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

December is the best month for it, averaging 0.6 bluebird days and 3.4 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Jasná?

May is the wettest month of the season, with 16.1 rain days and 92mm on average.

When is the best time to ski or board Jasná, and when does the season end?

Jasná typically holds at least 30cm of settled snow from around 4 January through to 16 March, which works out at roughly 72 days of skiable cover in an average year. 68 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is below average compared with the 39 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

For the deepest base, go in February; for the most new snow, January; for fresh snow with sunshine, December.
