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 3,793ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Is Špindlerův Mlýn 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, Špindlerův Mlýn 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 — 2021/22 produced 120in — but the averages argue for flexibility on timing.

Figures are modelled at 3,793ft from reanalysis data and describe an average year, not a forecast.
