The Wildschönau area may not be high but, at least, most of its slopes face north or east, and so hold their snow quite well.

 

The slopes above Auffach are the most reliable, but even here snow quality is variable, especially late in the season.

 

Snow-making is improving and covers all key runs to resort level.
