The same station validates Hakuba Cortina Snow Resort, Hakuba Happo-One Snow Resort, Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field, Hakuba Norikura Onsen Snow Resort and Tsugaike Mountain Resort. This resort reads the same weather cell as Hakuba Happo-One Snow Resort and Tsugaike Mountain Resort.
How a winter day is classified
A winter here means December 1 to March 31. A day is Clear at or below 30% modelled cloud cover, Partly Cloudy from 31 to 79%, and Overcast at 80% and above. A day carrying 5 cm or more of falling snow is Snow before any cloud value is read.
Cloud cover comes from the ERA5 reanalysis archive for this resort’s weather cell. The check comes from hours of sunshine measured at the nearest reporting station, which sits lower down the valley.
How closely the modelled cloud tracks the station’s measured sunshine, over the 3,243 winter days both sources hold a value for. Below the cut, the figure is stated as a range instead of a count.
The classification describes sky cover over the resort’s weather cell, not visibility measured on the hill. A resort can sit in cloud at altitude on a day its cell reads clear.
