Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.
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
Sahand Ski Resort is a ski area in Iran, at about 3,033 m. Its mapped area is about 1.7 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 246 cm of snowfall a season, 761st (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 5th in Iran. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2025/26 (391 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (150 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 78 cm.

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
Month by month
The most snow falls in March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 78 cm, more than the median of 52 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 246 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 150 cm; the biggest was 2025/26 with 391 cm (2.6 times as much). For 45% of the 22 ski areas in Iran the leanest winter was 2014/15; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
