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

Axamer Lizum, in Austria, runs from 892 m at the base to 2,334 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 4.1 km across, with 52 marked runs and 18 lifts (about 38 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 265 cm of snowfall a season, 643rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 66th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (371 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (172 cm). March still brings 70 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

Which way the slopes face

83% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
