How these numbers are calculated
  • Powder day — at least 6in of new snow in 24 hours.
  • Bluebird day — sunshine for at least 60% of daylight, following at least 4in of snow over the previous 3 days.
  • Rain day — at least 0.04in of rain (not snow) at this elevation.
  • Skiable day — at least 12in of settled snow on the ground.
  • Snow depth is modelled from Open-Meteo / ERA5 reanalysis at 3,379ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

frequent powder daysthe base does not get especially deepit sees more rain than mostthe season is shorter than average

Bohinj snow record in detail

Bohinj averages 101in of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is about average: more snow than 43% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median season brings 111in.

Season to season the spread is wide. The best of the last 10 winters was 2017/18 with 195in, and the leanest was 2016/17 with 58in — a difference of 137in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 86in.

February is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 21in and 6 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Bohinj?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Bohinj the snowpack peaks at an average of 19in each season. That is well below average, deeper than 10% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 11in through the month and topping out around 15in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Bohinj get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Bohinj averages 5 powder days a season. That is well above average, more powder days than 80% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

February has the most, 1.1 on average.

How often does Bohinj get bluebird days?

Bohinj averages 10 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is about average, more than 55% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

February is the best month for it, averaging 2.4 bluebird days and 6.5 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Bohinj?

May is the wettest month of the season, with 20.4 rain days and 7.9in on average.

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

Bohinj typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around February 2 through to February 9, which works out at roughly 8 days of skiable cover in an average year. 38 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is well below average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

February has it all at Bohinj: the deepest base, the most new snow and the most bluebird days fall in the same month.
