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

Brunnalm / St. Jakob, in Austria, runs from 1,387 m at the base to 2,682 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 4.0 km across, with 40 marked runs and 7 lifts (about 22 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 216 cm of snowfall a season, 988th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 131st in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (399 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (132 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (64 and 52 cm on average).

Compared with what is nearby

Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.
