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 5,102ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Is Brauneck a good place to ski or board?

the base does not get especially deepit sees more rain than mostthe season is shorter than average

On 10 years of record, Brauneck is a mixed picture: the base does not get especially deep, it sees more rain than most and the season is shorter than average. It can still ski well in a good year — 2018/19 produced 177in — but the averages argue for flexibility on timing.

Figures are modelled at 5,102ft from reanalysis data and describe an average year, not a forecast.

Brauneck snow record in detail

How much snow does Brauneck get?

Brauneck averages 115in of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is about average: more snow than 50% 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 2018/19 with 177in, and the leanest was 2024/25 with 70in — a difference of 107in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 82in.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 30in and 12 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Brauneck?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Brauneck the snowpack peaks at an average of 25in each season. That is below average, deeper than 28% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in February, averaging 15in through the month and topping out around 21in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Brauneck get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Brauneck averages 2 powder days a season. That is about average, more powder days than 43% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

January has the most, 1.1 on average.

How often does Brauneck get bluebird days?

Brauneck averages 11 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is above average, more than 63% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

December is the best month for it, averaging 2.1 bluebird days and 4.8 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Brauneck?

At mid-mountain Brauneck sees an average of 66 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is well above average: 100% 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 20.0 rain days and 7.5in on average.

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

Brauneck typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around January 10 through to February 15, which works out at roughly 37 days of skiable cover in an average year. 49 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.

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

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 Brauneck are taken at 5,102ft. Corpus last rebuilt September 2, 2026.
