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

Mt. Timothy Ski Area, in Canada, runs from 1,374 m at the base to 1,650 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.1 km across, with 38 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 26 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 117 cm of snowfall a season, 2,129th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 128th in Canada. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (157 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (74 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (33 and 30 cm on average).

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 “Mount Timothy”, which the map draws as one ski area.

83% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
