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
Hiihtokeskus Ukkohalla, in Finland, runs from 209 m at the base to 356 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.3 km across, with 23 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 11 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 134 cm of snowfall a season, 1,892nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 5th in Finland. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (173 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (76 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (41 and 35 cm on average).
Runs and lifts

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.

| Paljakan matkailu- ja hiihtokeskus | 16.0 km | 142 cm | 1775 |
| Saukkovaaran laskettelukeskus | 27.0 km | 127 cm | 2001 |
