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

Mount Snow, in United States, runs from 591 m at the base to 1,093 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 4.0 km across, with 119 marked runs and 19 lifts (about 61 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 171 cm of snowfall a season, 1,407th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 134th in the United States. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022/23 (266 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (46 cm). March still brings 40 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

89% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
