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
Nauders am Reschenpass is a ski area in Austria, on slopes between roughly 1,796 and 1,796 m. Within 4.1 km of its centre the map shows 129 marked runs and 21 lifts (about 98 km of piste).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 205 cm of snowfall a season, 1,105th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 149th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (317 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (131 cm). March still brings 49 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

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.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 205 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2016/17 with 131 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 317 cm (2.4 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
