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

Uvdal alpinsenter (Senteret), in Norway, runs from 691 m at the base to 1,209 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 2.0 km across, with 23 marked runs and 7 lifts (about 18 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 151 cm of snowfall a season, 1,652nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 97th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (196 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2016/17 (94 cm). March still brings 36 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

67% 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

The most snow falls in January. March brings 84% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Norway (75%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 36 cm, less than the median of 47 cm.
