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

Narvikfjellet Ski Resort, in Norway, runs from 125 m at the base to 1,002 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.6 km across, with 18 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 13 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 415 cm of snowfall a season, 153rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 21st in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (610 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (217 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 123 cm.

69% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.
