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 1742m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Is Tatranská Lomnica a good place to ski or board?

the base does not get especially deepthe season is shorter than average

On 10 years of record, Tatranská Lomnica is a mixed picture: the base does not get especially deep and the season is shorter than average. It can still ski well in a good year — 2021/22 produced 331cm — but the averages argue for flexibility on timing.

Figures are modelled at 1742m from reanalysis data and describe an average year, not a forecast.
