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
Ski Arlberg, in Austria, runs from 1,282 m at the base to 2,642 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 24 km across, with 513 marked runs and 92 lifts (about 272 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 357 cm of snowfall a season, 268th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 5th in Austria. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2018/19 (535 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (204 cm). March still brings 84 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 “Ski Arlberg”, which the map draws as one ski area.

Which way the slopes face
50% 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.

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.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 80% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Austria (75%). In amount, March brings 84 cm, more than the median of 49 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 357 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 204 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 535 cm (2.6 times as much). For 28% of the 243 ski areas in Austria, the leanest winter was the same 2024/25: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
