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.

Score breakdown
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
彩虹滑雪场, in China, runs from 2,517 m at the base to 2,572 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.5 km across, with 3 marked runs and 1 lift (about 0.6 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 25 cm of snowfall a season, 2,939th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 75th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (38 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2014/15 (15 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 13 cm.
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
100% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
By difficulty

How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| 金帝顺滑雪场 | 24.0 km | 28 cm | 2928 |
| 奥斯陆滑雪场（鹿塬） | 41.0 km | 18 cm | 2992 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 13 cm, more than the median of 6 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 25 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2014/15 with 15 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 38 cm (2.5 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
