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 4,898ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Is Feldberg 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, Feldberg 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 — 2017/18 produced 188in — but the averages argue for flexibility on timing.

Figures are modelled at 4,898ft from reanalysis data and describe an average year, not a forecast.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 31in and 11 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Feldberg?
