Hakodateyama Ski Resort is a ski area in Shiga, Japan, on slopes between roughly 561 and 663 m. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across, with 9 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 2.8 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 113 cm of snowfall a season, 367th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (169 cm), brought more than 8 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (19 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 44 cm. Snowfall days average −1.4 °C at mid-mountain, close to freezing, so the snow is often heavy, and its snow-quality score ranks 365th of 397 in Japan.
Below are links to 4 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 16% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 7 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.

Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 113 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 19 cm; the biggest was 2021/22 with 169 cm (8.9 times as much). For 63% of the 397 ski areas in Japan, the leanest winter was the same 2015/16: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.

- Is Western Japan Snowier Than It Looks? Our Model Against the Weather Stations Western Japan's ski areas look thin in our data — a median of 125 cm against a national 249 cm. Against 16 Japan Meteorological Agency stations, the model we use returns 44% of what the ground records there. The region is far snowier than our own numbers say.
