Hokkaido Greenland White Park is a ski area in Hokkaido, Japan, on slopes between roughly 48 and 139 m. Its mapped area is about 0.9 km across, with 4 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 2.1 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 164 cm of snowfall a season, 300th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2019/20 (112 cm), reached 68% of the average. December brings as much snow as January here (49 and 46 cm on average). Snowfall days average −4.3 °C at mid-mountain, and its snow-quality score ranks 239th of 397 in Japan.
Below is a link to its official live camera.
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.
Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
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.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haginoyama Shimin Ski Area | 1.9 km | 164 cm | 1485 |
| Katsurazawa Kokusetsu Ski Area | 18 km | 232 cm | 853 |
| Mount Racey | 21 km | 193 cm | 1217 |
| Bibai Kokusetsu Ski Area | 21 km | 232 cm | 853 |
| Ishikariheigen Ski Area | 25 km | 207 cm | 1081 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in December. March brings 63% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 29 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 164 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2019/20 with 112 cm; the biggest was 2024/25 with 219 cm (2.0 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Guides covering Hokkaido
- A Historic El Niño Is Forecast. Here Is What the Last Big One Did to Japan's Snow. NOAA gives a very strong El Niño better than a 90% chance this winter. We measured every Japanese ski area across the last 12 winters: El Niño winters ran 88% of normal, and the strongest of the twelve left Japan at 63%. But Hakuba held 92% of its average that winter while Niseko fell to 57%.
- Which Famous Ski Resorts Actually Get the Most Snow? 24 Names, Measured Niseko is 526th in the world for snowfall. Zermatt is 554th, Jackson Hole 924th, Aspen 1,201st. Measured identically across 3,069 ski areas, the names everyone books and the places it actually snows turn out to be two different lists.
- Australia Just Had Its Worst Season in Twenty Years. Here Is What Japan's 12-Winter Record Says About Booking It Instead. Snow depth at Spencers Creek peaked at 94.5 cm, the third lowest since 1954, and resorts closed in August. Our own measure — snowfall, not depth — puts Australia at 50% of its 12-year average. The gap between those two numbers is the story: it was the warmth, not only the lack of snow. New Zealand, meanwhile, finished at 108% of normal.
