Miyagi Zao Eboshi Resort is a ski area in Miyagi, Japan, on slopes between roughly 567 and 1,364 m. Its mapped area is about 3.4 km across, with 23 marked runs and 8 lifts (about 13 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 254 cm of snowfall a season, 187th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2024/25 (357 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (111 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 86 cm. Snowfall days average −4.5 °C at mid-mountain, and its snow-quality score ranks 108th of 397 in Japan.
Below are links to 2 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.
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.

Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 254 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 111 cm; the biggest was 2024/25 with 357 cm (3.2 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.
