Snow reliability Winterberg (Skiliftkarussell)

They have pretty much become emancipated from the limited natural snow conditions in the Sauerland. The Skiliftkarussell Winterberg has the most powerful snow-making system in Germany's low mountain range. With about 170 snow making machines, 5000 cubic metres of snow can be produced in an hour. Water is supplied to these machines from multiple reservoirs and only two or three cold nights are needed in order to open the ski resort. A total of 23 of the 26 lifts can open without one natural snowflake falling. Three lifts are dependent on natural snow. Two of these run parallel to an area with snow-making equipment that leads to the practice lifts, the third is the Nordhang (northern slope) on the Kahlen Asten, which is normally open about 60 ski days in a season even without artificial snow. The season usually lasts about 100 days on the slopes with snow-making capabilities. The floodlit slope and the Poppenberg I run are particularly snow reliable. These slopes are usually closed in the Spring due to low visitation, not due to lack of snow.
