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

大海草山国际滑雪场, in China, runs from 3,542 m at the base to 3,579 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.6 km across, with 2 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 0.4 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 41 cm of snowfall a season, 2,876th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 40th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (65 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (13 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 16 cm.
