Should be simple, isn't. Prestige class. Has the normal table granting "+1 witch level spells per day" for every level except the first.
Then the first level ability is this:
Winter Witchcraft: Levels of the winter witch prestige
class stack with witch levels for determining a winter
witch’s spells per day, spells gained at each level, the effect
of her hexes and other witch class abilities (including
archetype abilities), the abilities of her witch’s familiar, and
the level at which she can select major hexes or grand hexes.
So, 1st level in this class, what caster level is the witch?
I think this must be FAQed, but I looked and it seemed like it wasn't clearly covered. I'm not great at navigating the FAQs for this game. Help?

Pretty sure winter witchcraft have been edited to this:
Levels of the winter witch prestige class stack with witch levels for determining when she learns new hexes, the effect of her hexes and other witch class abilities (including archetype abilities), the abilities of her witch's familiar, and the level at which she can select major hexes or grand hexes.

---------------------------------------------------
it does appear that the winter Witch gets almost double casting per level (19 casting / 10 levels).
both erratas advance the witch spellcasting by 9/10. Then Winter Witchcraft also advances Spellcasting, since that falls under the 'other witch abilities', since that does not fall under the called out abilities: 'hexes, archetype, familiar, and major/grand hexes'
Spells per Day: At the indicated levels, a winter
witch gains new spells per day and patron spells as
if she had also gained a level in the witch class. She does
not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class
would have gained except for additional spells per day and
an increased effective level of spellcasting.

So, 1st level in this class, what caster level is the witch?
The same caster level she was the level prior, even though other aspects of the class DO advance, she does not get a bump in caster level and spell slots until she hit 2nd in the PrC.
Winter Witchcraft says otherwise
Looking at the layout it doesnt seem like that is the case since it have the table of "+1 to witch class" on the spellcasting progression table.
So most likely its not the intent of the Winter Witchcraft that it would progress spellcasting, but i think i have heard that spellcasting count as a class ability so i am not sure where this was mentioned or FAQ'd.
Winter Witchcraft says otherwise
CL is a specific ability the Winter Witch calls out as advancing in manner outside the general advancement of Winter Witchcraft.
