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

Ski amadé, in Austria, runs from 667 m at the base to 2,642 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 86 km across, with 1031 marked runs and 239 lifts (about 605 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 44th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (461 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (189 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (79 and 77 cm on average).

68% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.
