Grandeco Snow Resort is a ski area in Fukushima, Japan, on slopes between roughly 966 and 1,595 m. Its mapped area is about 3.6 km across, with 21 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 13 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 379 cm of snowfall a season, 84th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2024/25 (518 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (151 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 125 cm. Snowfall days are cold, averaging −6.4 °C at mid-mountain, and its snow-quality score ranks 21st of 397 in Japan.
The nearest city of any size is Fukushima, about 30 km away. Below are links to 3 official live cameras.
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

The tick marks the median across every Japanese ski area we measure. All four bars run the same way — longer is better.
The quality score deliberately excludes how much snow falls — it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind. Snowing a lot and snowing well are different things.
