We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

The five add up to the 100-point Powder Score: more fresh snow, more on the way and colder air all push it up. How we measure

A venir, in Canada, runs from 225 m at the base to 441 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.9 km across, with 1 marked run (about 0.8 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 203 cm of snowfall a season, 1,130th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 36th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2023/24 (154 cm), reached 76% of the average. March still brings 49 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
