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
Ordino-Arcalís, in Andorra, runs from 1,942 m at the base to 2,626 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 3.5 km across, with 29 marked runs and 12 lifts (about 27 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 287 cm of snowfall a season, 534th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 1st in Andorra. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (536 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (134 cm). March still brings 72 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.
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 “Ordino-Arcalis”, which the map draws as one ski area.

Which way the slopes face
80% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

Live cameras
This ski area does not put a camera on its own slopes. What follows are nearby cameras, not the pistes themselves.

How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
