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

Alpinsenteret i Raudalen, in Norway, runs from 713 m at the base to 1,058 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.8 km across, with 10 marked runs and 1 lift (about 7.9 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 174 cm of snowfall a season, 1,378th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 81st in Norway. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2021/22 (125 cm), reached 72% of the average. December brings as much snow as January here (52 and 47 cm on average).

98% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

This ski area does not put a camera on its own slopes. What follows are nearby cameras, not the pistes themselves.
