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.

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

Horsefeathers Superpark Planai is a ski area in Austria, at about 1,720 m. Within 1.3 km of its centre the map shows 63 marked runs and 11 lifts (about 21 km of piste).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 281 cm of snowfall a season, 566th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 51st in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (506 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (192 cm). March still brings 63 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

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.
