Céüse

10 / 100 Powder Score
Thin ☀️

Céüse is a ski area in France. It sits at about 1,706 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 3.5 km². Within 2.6 km of the centre, the map shows 1 marked runs, totalling about 0.1 km of piste. Over the last three winters the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 132 cm of snowfall a season, 1780th (tied) of the 3,112 ski areas we measure worldwide. The model runs well below what resorts report, so the ranking is the meaningful part rather than the centimetre figure. 105 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.

Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.

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.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings 90% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in France (77%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 26 cm, less than the median of 58 cm.
