Clear skies

The share of a typical winter that is clear here, and the months the clear days fall in.

4–6clear days

Here the modelled cloud and the station’s measured sunshine disagree by more than the cut allows, so the figure is stated as a range.

Estimated

They lean late: close to half of them arrive in March. Across the 34 resorts tracked here, a typical winter holds between 2 and 11 clear days.

Checked against sunshine measured at Asahikawa.

How a winter day is classified
The boundaries 30 / 80 / 5

Winter runs from December 1 to March 31. A day counts as Clear when modelled cloud cover is 30% or less, Partly Cloudy from 31 to 79%, and Overcast from 80% up. A day with 5 cm or more of snowfall counts as Snow, whatever the cloud cover.

The two sources 2

Cloud cover comes from the ERA5 reanalysis for the weather cell this resort sits in. It is checked against hours of sunshine measured at the nearest reporting station, lower down the valley.

The confidence 0.65

The modelled cloud is compared with the station’s measured sunshine on the 3,241 winter days that have both. When the two agree poorly, the clear-day figure is given as a range instead of a single count.

The limit —

The classification describes cloud over the resort’s weather cell, but nobody measures visibility on the hill. A cell that reads clear can still leave the upper mountain in cloud all day.

    “This course is "③ Rabbit Course". This course is a beginner's course with a total length of 700m and a maximum slope of 12 degrees. This course has a gentle slope, so even beginners can slide with confidence. There is a gap around the forest on the right side, so you can play with the terrain, and if you have fresh snow, you can comfortably do a tree run.”
