Snow Report
Snow Report →How deep the snow gets, and when — averaged across recorded seasons.
Typical base at the deepest half-month.
MeasuredClear skies
How much of a typical winter here is actually clear, and when those days fall.
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 41 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
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.

“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.”

“here we did one run top that was nice too there was more snow up at the top of course um it was cold though it was rather cold we did the long panoram course all around apparently there's a little bit of pow off the back side so for those of you who are into the touring mode conditions are good yeah”

“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.”
