A weather-model figure, worked out the same way for every ski area, and lower than what actually falls. Use it to compare ski areas, not against the resort’s own totals. How we measure →

Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.
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
Marsh Lake Ski Trails is a ski area in Canada, on slopes between roughly 728 and 728 m. Its mapped area is about 5.2 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 76 cm of snowfall a season, 2,621st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 157th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (130 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (43 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 24 cm.
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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mt. Lorne Ski Trails | 35.0 km | 94 cm | 2439 |
| Mount Sima | 49.0 km | 83 cm | 2549 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in January. March brings 54% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Canada (79%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 13 cm, less than the median of 32 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 76 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2018/19 with 43 cm; the biggest was 2020/21 with 130 cm (3.0 times as much). For 28% of the 171 ski areas in Canada the leanest winter was 2014/15; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
