16 / 100 Powder Score
Thin ☀️ Official site

Ski Portillo is a ski area in Valparaíso, Chile. It runs from 2590 m at the base to 3310 m at the summit. Within 2.5 km of the centre, the map shows 29 marked runs and 15 lifts, totalling about 17 km of piste. Over the last three winters the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 416 cm of snowfall a season, 152nd (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. The nearest city of any size is Santiago, about 83 km away. 1 official live camera is linked below. 6 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.

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 tick marks the median across the 395 Japanese ski areas. All four bars run the same way — longer is better.

The quality score deliberately excludes how much snow falls — it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind. Snowing a lot and snowing well are different things.

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.
