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

Estación de Esquí Aramón Formigal, in Spain, runs from 1,502 m at the base to 2,264 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 8.5 km across, with 113 marked runs and 26 lifts (about 104 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 406 cm of snowfall a season, 166th of 3,069 worldwide and 1st in Spain. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (650 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (266 cm). March still brings 92 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

The nearest city of any size is Pamplona, about 102 km away in a straight line.

89% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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

Compared with what is nearby

Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 81% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Spain (102%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 92 cm, more than the median of 52 cm.

Winter by winter

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 406 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 266 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 650 cm (2.4 times as much). For 38% of the 34 ski areas in Spain, the leanest winter was the same 2015/16: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
