How we calculate this
Wet-bulb: Stull (2011), a near sea-level approximation. Alpine pressure effects and very cold, dry conditions limit accuracy. Potential hours use a −2°C threshold; equipment, water and operating decisions remain unknown. Snow balance uses wet-bulb precipitation partition and a configurable degree-day melt factor. Uncalibrated research model.

Daily comparison selects the nearest stored issue to 24 hours earlier (within 6 hours); weekly uses 7 days (within 12 hours). At least six consecutive future hours must match. Source and model version must agree. The comparison describes changes in that forecast period.
This view uses a single forecast. Probabilities and historical accuracy scores are not available.

Snow and lift questions
How much snow is forecast for Sierra Nevada ?
For Sierra Nevada, the Open-Meteo · DWD ICON forecast issued 8 Nov, 16:00 shows modelled snowfall of 0 mm at 2,100 m, 0 mm at 2,683 m and 0.3 mm at 3,300 m in the 24 hours from 8 Nov, 23:00. Amounts are millimetres of water in the snow, not snow depth. Times are local (Europe/Madrid). Forecast source ↗
How deep is the snow in Sierra Nevada ?
PisteWindow has no current snow-depth report for Sierra Nevada. Forecast figures are modelled snowfall, not snow depth. Official resort information ↗
Which lifts are open in Sierra Nevada ?
PisteWindow has no current lift or piste report for Sierra Nevada. Open lifts and pistes are not inferred from the forecast. Official resort information ↗
How does snowfall differ from snow depth?
Snowfall is the new snow that falls in a period. Snow depth is the total on the ground and also reflects earlier snow, melt and settling. PisteWindow’s forecast shows modelled snowfall as water in millimetres, not depth.

Get to know the mountain
Pradollano sits at the foot of open, treeless slopes. Two gondolas, Al-Ándalus and Borreguiles, carry skiers to the Borreguiles plateau, where chairlifts and drag lifts continue towards the Veleta side. Schematic illustration, not a map or current conditions.
Before your ski day
Where is the Sierra Nevada forecast taken?
At the valley station of the Al-Ándalus gondola in Pradollano. The 2,683 m value matches the top station of the Borreguiles gondola, and 3,300 m is the published top of the ski area.[2][5][6]
Is the lift and piste status on this page live?
The operator publishes it in its official snow report, linked here. Outside the season that report shows the station as closed; check it, with its own timestamp, before you travel.[4]
Where can I see the pistes?
The operator’s track map, linked here, shows the zones and circuits. The operator states more than 112 km of slopes.[3][1]
Does this page cover the whole Sierra Nevada mountains?
No. It covers the Pradollano ski area only. The wider mountain range, Granada city and the hiking routes are not part of this forecast.[1]
