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.
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.
EstimatedThey are spread through the season, with March the strongest single stretch. Across the 39 resorts tracked here, a typical winter holds between 2 and 11 clear days.
Checked against sunshine measured at Shimukappu.
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.

“The nearest ski trail to the hotel is the 'Hello Nipo' ski trail, which only takes a few minutes of ski lift ride to reach the top of the pistes. You can see that the pistes are quite wide. The slopes of the pistes are also very suitable for beginners to practice. This is where I learned how to ski. Next to the 'Hello Nipo' is the 'Nipo's Forest' piste.”

“Yes! Sunshine! You are the sunshine~ ... This is the big bend of Sunshine, let's go down slowly after we get here. This side will start to get steeper, and it will be fine if you go down slowly. This is a black line, and you must not walk around. The black line is that we will die if we go on.”

“In three days of skiing, we finally conquered all the green lines in Tomamu. The scenery of the sunset slopes really made us linger. If we have the chance, we must ski. Go to this sunshine ski trail because you can enjoy the scenery of the entire Hoshino Resorts.”
