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
Flottsbro, in Sweden, runs from 4 m at the base to 102 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.4 km across, with 6 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 1.7 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 58 cm of snowfall a season, 2,763rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 60th in Sweden. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022/23 (85 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2019/20 (25 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 23 cm.
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
90% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

Lift types
- Platter1
- Drag lift1

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.
Some cameras here are provided by Windy.com. Footage plays in Windy’s own player; we do not store it. Windy.com
How much snow it gets
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. 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
The most snow falls in January. March brings 48% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Sweden (67%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 11 cm, less than the median of 25 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 58 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2019/20 with 25 cm; the biggest was 2022/23 with 85 cm (3.4 times as much). For 39% of the 69 ski areas in Sweden the leanest winter was 2016/17; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
