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.
