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
Sunnmørsalpane Skiarena Fjellseter, in Norway, runs from 367 m at the base to 872 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.8 km across, with 7 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 5.6 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 468 cm of snowfall a season, 99th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 17th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (840 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (214 cm). March still brings 112 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 shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
76% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strandafjellet skisenter | 7.0 km | 385 cm | 200 |
| Spjelkavikheisa | 23.0 km | 201 cm | 1140 |
| Stordal alpinsenter | 24.0 km | 455 cm | 106 |
| Ørskogfjell skisenter | 25.0 km | 360 cm | 254 |
| Lilleåsen skitrekk | 25.0 km | 395 cm | 183 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 86% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Norway (75%). In amount, March brings 112 cm, more than the median of 47 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 468 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2025/26 with 214 cm; the biggest was 2019/20 with 840 cm (3.9 times as much). For 34% of the 135 ski areas in Norway, the leanest winter was the same 2025/26: 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.
