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

Edsåsdalen, in Sweden, runs from 478 m at the base to 961 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 11 km across, with 17 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 9.6 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 183 cm of snowfall a season, 1,294th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 10th in Sweden. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (265 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (118 cm). March still brings 51 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
