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

Craigleith Ski Club, in Canada, runs from 233 m at the base to 442 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.5 km across, with 35 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 16 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 147 cm of snowfall a season, 1,699th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 85th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2023/24 (112 cm), reached 76% of the average. January is usually the snowiest month, with about 45 cm.

99% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

Live cameras

This ski area does not put a camera on its own slopes. What follows are nearby cameras, not the pistes themselves.

Footage remains the copyright of each operator. JAPANSNOWLINE neither stores nor redistributes it.
