Deep snow close to a city
Ski areas averaging 300 cm or more, by straight-line distance from the nearest large city.
Snowfall is the 12-winter average from the ERA5 reanalysis, and the model runs low on mountain snow, by different amounts in different regions (the regional map on the Japan page adds that difference back; the figures on this page do not).
