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
Granåsen hoppbakke is a ski area in Norway, at about 195 m. Its mapped area is about 0.4 km across.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in December. March brings 92% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Norway (75%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 35 cm, less than the median of 47 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 151 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2025/26 with 87 cm; the biggest was 2021/22 with 234 cm (2.7 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
