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 7,792ft, 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 2018/19 with 298in, and the leanest was 2025/26 with 137in — a difference of 162in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 137in.

May is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 39in and 15 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Hintertux?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Hintertux the snowpack peaks at an average of 70in each season. That is well above average, deeper than 85% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in March, averaging 55in through the month and topping out around 65in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Hintertux get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Hintertux averages 7 powder days a season. That is among the very best we track, more powder days than 90% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

May has the most, 1.3 on average.

How often does Hintertux get bluebird days?

Hintertux averages 30 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is among the very best we track, more than 98% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

May is the best month for it, averaging 6.4 bluebird days and 10.4 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Hintertux?

At mid-mountain Hintertux sees an average of 11 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is well below average: 8% 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 8.5 rain days and 1.2in on average.

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

Hintertux typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around November 17 through to June 5, which works out at roughly 202 days of skiable cover in an average year. 196 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is among the very best we track compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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