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 2,677ft, not measured at the resort. Use it to compare seasons and resorts; use the resort's own report for today's conditions.

Trysil snow record in detail

How much snow does Trysil get?

Trysil averages 77in of snowfall over a full season, measured from November to May across the last 10 winters. That is below average: more snow than 25% 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 2022/23 with 98in, and the leanest was 2024/25 with 48in — a difference of 49in between a good year and a poor one. The most recent complete season, 2025/26, delivered 75in.

January is reliably the snowiest month, averaging 17in and 10 days with fresh snow.

How deep does the snow get at Trysil?

Snowfall totals flatter resorts that lose their snow quickly, so the more useful number is how deep the settled base actually gets. At Trysil the snowpack peaks at an average of 34in each season. That is about average, deeper than 57% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median peak of 33in.

The base is deepest in March, averaging 29in through the month and topping out around 33in in a typical year.

How many powder days does Trysil get?

Counting any day that delivers at least 6in of new snow, Trysil averages 1 powder day a season. That is below average, more powder days than 35% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, where the median is 2 a season.

January has the most, 0.2 on average.

How often does Trysil get bluebird days?

Trysil averages 3 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 25% of 40 resorts we have analysed the same way, against a median of 10.

March is the best month for it, averaging 0.9 bluebird days and 6.9 hours of sunshine a day.

Does it rain at Trysil?

At mid-mountain Trysil sees an average of 23 days a season with 0.04in or more of rain rather than snow. That is below average: 28% 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 9.4 rain days and 2.1in on average.

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

Trysil typically holds at least 12in of settled snow from around December 10 through to May 4, which works out at roughly 147 days of skiable cover in an average year. 141 of those fall inside the November to May season. On season length that is above average compared with the 40 other resorts we have analysed the same way.

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

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 Trysil are taken at 2,677ft. Corpus last rebuilt September 2, 2026.
