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
Kubínska hoľa, in Slovakia, runs from 742 m at the base to 1,390 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.9 km across, with 17 marked runs and 9 lifts (about 5.8 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 111 cm of snowfall a season, 2,224th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 25th in Slovakia. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (160 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (57 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 38 cm.
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
The figures are for the whole of “Kubínská hola”, which the map draws as one ski area.

Live cameras
This ski area does not put a camera on its own slopes. What follows are nearby cameras, not the pistes themselves.
Footage remains the copyright of each operator. JAPANSNOWLINE neither stores nor redistributes it.
Some cameras here are provided by Windy.com. Footage plays in Windy’s own player; we do not store it. Windy.com
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.
