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.

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
East Pole is a ski area in Kazakhstan, at about 712 m. Its mapped area is about 0.1 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 213 cm of snowfall a season, 1,022nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 1st in Kazakhstan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (315 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (91 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (70 and 53 cm on average).
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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings 92% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Kazakhstan (92%). In amount, March brings 49 cm, about the same as the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 213 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2018/19 with 91 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 315 cm (3.5 times as much). For 60% of the 5 ski areas in Kazakhstan, the leanest winter was the same 2018/19.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
