Mt. Holiday
Mt. Holiday is a ski area in United States. It sits at about 216 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 1.0 km². Within 2.5 km of the centre, the map shows 10 marked runs and 4 lifts, totalling about 3.8 km of piste. Over the last three winters the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 132 cm of snowfall a season, 1780th (tied) of the 3,112 ski areas we measure worldwide. The model runs well below what resorts report, so the ranking is the meaningful part rather than the centimetre figure. 11 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.
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.

Lift types
- Rope tow2
- Chairlift2
Source: OpenStreetMap (ODbL 1.0). How finely ski areas are drawn varies by region, so treat the counts as indicative. Difficulty uses the European grades, which do not map onto North American green / blue / black.
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,112 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summit Mountain | 35 km | 147 cm | 1618 |
| Schuss Mountain | 38 km | 155 cm | 1512 |
| Crystal Mountain | 45 km | 137 cm | 1730 |
