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

Bolton Valley Resort, in United States, runs from 475 m at the base to 950 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 4.0 km across, with 80 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 32 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 169 cm of snowfall a season, 1,427th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 141st in the United States. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022/23 (209 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (103 cm). March still brings 40 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
