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
Stryn Vinterski, in Norway, runs from 320 m at the base to 974 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across, with 10 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 6.7 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 370 cm of snowfall a season, 226th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 32nd in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (552 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2020/21 (183 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 105 cm.
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.
Only 5% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. More of the terrain faces the sun.

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

Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hornindal skisenter | 12.0 km | 476 cm | 93 |
| Breimsbygda Skisenter | 20.0 km | 501 cm | 83 |
| Ørsta skisenter | 34.0 km | 396 cm | 178 |
| Volda skisenter | 39.0 km | 339 cm | 309 |
| Harpefossen skisenter | 40.0 km | 410 cm | 161 |
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 73% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Norway (75%). In amount, March brings 77 cm, more than the median of 47 cm.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 370 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2020/21 with 183 cm; the biggest was 2019/20 with 552 cm (3.0 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
