How to read the figures
The tables use DWD ICON-DREAM-EU v1.0 daily reanalysis for 2010-2025. Temperatures are adjusted from model terrain to the stated slope elevation; precipitation and wind are not adjusted. All three points share precipitation from the same 6.5 km model cell, which is why those rows repeat. Values are rounded and describe recent historical ranges, not a forecast. The piste locations come from OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. Read the full source and limitations.
