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

Kristberg-Silbertal, in Austria, runs from 1,430 m at the base to 1,595 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.3 km across, with 10 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 4.4 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 341 cm of snowfall a season, 303rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 9th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (517 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (226 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 104 cm.

The nearest city of any size is Zurich, about 114 km away in a straight line.
