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

Røros Alpinsenter Hummelfjell, in Norway, runs from 672 m at the base to 861 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.3 km across, with 13 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 6.3 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 126 cm of snowfall a season, 2,018th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 118th in Norway. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2025/26 (91 cm), reached 72% of the average. December brings as much snow as January here (35 and 35 cm on average).

99% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

The most snow falls in December. March brings 86% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Norway (75%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 30 cm, less than the median of 47 cm.
