These are three-month regional probabilities against the 1991–2020 normal. Temperature is the seasonal mean at 2m; precipitation is the water total from rain and snow. A wetter winter is not automatically a snowier mountain or a better ski week.

November 2026–January 2027 · Issued October 2026 · 1-month lead (the gap before this seasonal window starts).

  1. Check that the official viewer still shows the October 2026 issue. It advances each month.
  2. Select November 2026–January 2027. Its period selector counts the issue month as month 1: choose 2–4 month. The link opens the viewer; it does not preselect this period.
  3. Choose Temperature (seasonal mean daily temperature at 2m) and Precipitation (seasonal water total, including rain and snow) separately. Inspect Skill map, then Reliability.

Skill describes past category predictions; reliability compares probabilities with observed frequencies. We have not confirmed that these verification products match the model version and calibration of the fields displayed here. Global reliability combines many locations; it does not validate this ski area or snowfall.

Is this forecast local enough to choose a ski area?

The nearest 1° grid point is 47.5°, 13.5°, 28.2 km from the catalogue point at 47.250°, 13.560°. A grid cell is roughly 100 km across; it does not resolve this mountain’s summit, base, aspect or beginner slopes. Nearby destinations can share the same signal. Do not rank them by these probabilities.

Each window overlaps its neighbours, so the four windows are not independent monthly forecasts. Rounded displays may total slightly above or below 100%.

Cross-check Europe’s regional pattern with Copernicus

Copernicus C3S is a separate multi-system seasonal source. Keep its issue month and model choice separate from CanSIPS. Its usual 1993–2016 hindcast reference differs from the 1991–2020 normal used above.

  1. Choose the latest complete issue actually shown, then the same three calendar months as your trip comparison, if available. A newer model month may not yet have a complete public release.
  2. Read 2-metre temperature and total precipitation separately. If your months are outside the published horizon, there is no matching forecast to substitute.
  3. For verification, match the system/version, initialization month, three-month aggregation and starting lead, variable and applicable category. Check the provider’s score definitions; these diagnostics do not establish this mountain’s snowfall accuracy.

The links open general official viewers; they do not preselect your mountain, issue or season. No C3S numbers are imported into these CanSIPS probabilities.

Turn the seasonal picture into a workable trip.

For fixed December or Christmas dates, check the beginner terrain you need, the route back to your accommodation and the last return lift. Verify operator openings and snowmaking status for those routes; altitude and seasonal probabilities cannot confirm them.

If you are travelling without a car, price the actual airport/train connection, transfers and local access for everyone. Add lessons, hire, lift access and non-ski travellers to the same whole-trip budget.

Look at the timestamp first.

Check the camera’s date, time and location. A frozen frame, obscured lens or off-season snow stake can mislead. Use the operator report for lift and terrain status.

German camera collection. Some embedded players may fail to load; use the page’s alternate WEBCAMS link and check the selected image timestamp. A listed camera or summer panorama does not establish open ski terrain.
