Snow Report
Snow Report →Average peak depth and the month it arrives, over every recorded season.
Typical base at the deepest half-month.
MeasuredClear skies
The share of a typical winter that is clear here, and the months the clear days fall in.
They are spread through the season, with March the strongest single stretch. Across the 37 resorts tracked here, a typical winter holds between 2 and 11 clear days.
Checked against sunshine measured at Sekiyama. The same station validates Akakura Kanko Resort, Akakura Onsen Ski Resort, Lotte Arai Resort, Myoko Suginohara Ski Resort and Seki Onsen Ski Resort. This resort reads the same weather cell as Akakura Kanko Resort and Seki Onsen Ski Resort.
How a winter day is classified
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.
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 modelled cloud is compared with the station’s measured sunshine on the 3,243 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 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.
