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 900m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 81cm and 15 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Storlien?

That is well above average, deeper than 85% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 84cm.

The base is deepest in April, averaging 125cm through the month and topping out around 144cm in a typical year.

January has the most, 0.9 on average.

How often does Storlien get bluebird days?

Storlien averages 5 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 10cm or more of fresh snow. That is below average, more than 33% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

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

Storlien typically holds at least 30cm of settled snow from around 21 November through to 24 May, which works out at roughly 186 days of skiable cover in an average year. 177 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is well above average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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