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 2,953ft, 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 2021/22 with 251in, and the leanest was 2025/26 with 92in — a difference of 159in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 92in.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 32in and 15 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Storlien?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Storlien the snowpack peaks at an average of 59in 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 April, averaging 49in through the month and topping out around 57in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Storlien get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Storlien averages 3 powder days a season. That is above average, more powder days than 60% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

January has the most, 0.9 on average.

How often does Storlien get bluebird days?

Storlien averages 5 bluebird days a season — days of sunshine for at least 60% of daylight after 4in or more of fresh snow. That is below average, more than 33% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

April is the best month for it, averaging 1.9 bluebird days and 8.5 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Storlien?

At mid-mountain Storlien sees an average of 25 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is below average: 33% 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 8.7 rain days and 1.5in on average.

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

Storlien typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around November 21 through to May 24, which works out at roughly 186 days of skiable cover in an average year. 177 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is well above average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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

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 Storlien are taken at 2,953ft. Corpus last rebuilt September 2, 2026.
