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

何家沟滑雪场, in China, runs from 112 m at the base to 233 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.9 km across, with 6 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 2.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 15 cm of snowfall a season, 3,008th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 133rd in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (24 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (8 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (4 and 4 cm on average).
