Estación esquí Javalambre

8 / 100 Powder Score
Thin 🌧️

Estación esquí Javalambre is a ski area in Spain. It sits at about 1,855 m above sea level. The mapped ski area is about 2.4 km across, corner to corner. The map shows 18 marked runs and 9 lifts inside the ski area, totalling about 8.4 km of piste. Averaged over the last twelve winters, the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 56 cm of snowfall a season, 2781st (tied) of the 3,069 ski areas we measure worldwide. The model runs well below what resorts report, so the ranking is the meaningful part rather than the centimetre figure. 1 other ski area lies within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.

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.
