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
Vestvatnlia alpinanlegg, in Norway, runs from 176 m at the base to 486 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.4 km across, with 6 marked runs and 1 lift (about 5.3 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 344 cm of snowfall a season, 293rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 38th in Norway. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2016/17 (479 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2017/18 (167 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (90 and 84 cm on average).
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.

Which way the slopes face
88% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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