Why it snows here
The Arlberg is the first major wall that north-westerly Atlantic fronts hit in the Eastern Alps, where orographic lift wrings out roughly twice the snowfall of resorts further east.
Reading St. Anton am Arlberg like a forecaster
The number that matters most at St. Anton am Arlberg is the difference between the base (1304 m) and the summit (2811 m): when the freezing level sits between the two, the mountain is split into rain or wet snow below and dry snow above. The Ski Meter reads the model at both elevations and scores the day with every point accounted for; the full report adds hourly timing, accumulation ranges and confidence tags so you can decide when to travel, not just whether.
