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 816m, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2022/23 with 248cm, and the leanest was 2024/25 with 123cm — a difference of 125cm between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 190cm.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 43cm and 10 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Trysil?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Trysil the snowpack peaks at an average of 86cm each season. That is about average, deeper than 57% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 84cm.

The base is deepest in March, averaging 73cm through the month and topping out around 83cm in a typical year.

How many powder days does Trysil get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 15cm of new snow, Trysil averages 1 powder day a season. That is below average, more powder days than 35% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

January has the most, 0.2 on average.

How often does Trysil get bluebird days?

Trysil averages 3 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 25% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

March is the best month for it, averaging 0.9 bluebird days and 6.9 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Trysil?

At mid-mountain Trysil sees an average of 23 days a season with 1mm or more of rain rather than snow. That is below average: 28% of the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way see fewer wet days, against a median of 32.

May is the wettest month of the season, with 9.4 rain days and 54mm on average.

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

Trysil typically holds at least 30cm of settled snow from around 10 December through to 4 May, which works out at roughly 147 days of skiable cover in an average year. 141 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is above average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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

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 Trysil are taken at 816m. Corpus last rebuilt 2 September 2026.
