Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 113 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2023/24 with 73 cm; the biggest was 2018/19 with 142 cm (1.9 times as much).
