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 base Too Ashuu, in Kyrgyzstan, runs from 2,552 m at the base to 2,941 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.2 km across, with 3 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 3.6 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 129 cm of snowfall a season, 1,976th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 7th in Kyrgyzstan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (174 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (67 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (34 and 24 cm on average).

52% 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.

Live cameras

This ski area does not put a camera on its own slopes. What follows are nearby cameras, not the pistes themselves.

Footage remains the copyright of each operator. JAPANSNOWLINE neither stores nor redistributes it.
