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

Khoshakoo Ski Resort is a ski area in Iran, at about 2,038 m. Its mapped area is about 1.4 km across.

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 188 cm of snowfall a season, 1,259th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 14th in Iran. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (265 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2022/23 (92 cm). March still brings 49 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
