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

Stacja narciarska Małe Ciche, in Poland, runs from 875 m at the base to 1,090 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.5 km across, with 11 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 3.9 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 173 cm of snowfall a season, 1,389th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 5th in Poland. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022/23 (245 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (98 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 50 cm.
