Freeride Film Festival | Nordkette snow depth prediction game

In Europe, the annual accumulated amount of fresh snow is a rather unusual measure of the perforation of a snow hole.

"The annual accumulated new snowfall total is the total amount of new snow that is added up over a year."

Typically, the amount of new snow is measured by hand at observer stations at 8 o'clock in the morning. The sum of these measurements over an entire season gives the accumulated amount of fresh snow.

The employees of the Avalanche Commission take these measurements every morning at the Seegrube - and have been doing so since around 1966! In 2024, they didn't have that much to read: The accumulated fresh snow total was just 415 cm, making it the second-lowest figure since measurements began!

Snow depth prediction game at the Freeride Film Festival

Exclusively for the two stops in Innsbruck, we have come up with two tricky tips that have to be guessed as accurately as possible. Of course, everyone is welcome to guess, even those who are not on site at the Metropol cinema.

The first tip is: What is the average annual accumulated amount of fresh snow at the Seegrube observation station since the start of measurements in centimetres?

The second tip is: What is the largest measured annual accumulated amount of fresh snow at the Seegrube observation station since the start of measurements in centimetres?

And this is what you can win:
