Uenono Ski Area is a ski area in Miyagi, Japan, on slopes between roughly 247 and 342 m. Its mapped area is about 0.8 km across, with 4 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 0.8 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 178 cm of snowfall a season, 290th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2015/16 (141 cm), reached 79% of the average. January is usually the snowiest month, with about 62 cm. Weather models read low in the mountains: a Japan Meteorological Agency station 4.1 km away measured 263 cm a winter over the last three seasons, against 175 cm from the model. Snowfall days average −0.9 °C at mid-mountain, close to freezing, so the snow is often heavy, and its snow-quality score ranks 359th of 397 in Japan.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onikobe Ski Area | 8.7 km | 260 cm | 667 |
| Yakurai Garden Ski Area | 18 km | 139 cm | 1816 |
| Hanagasa Kogen Ski Area | 29 km | 321 cm | 401 |
| Green Valley Kamuro Ski Area | 35 km | 277 cm | 586 |
| Spring Valley Izumi Kogen | 35 km | 146 cm | 1714 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 45% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Japan (52%). In amount, March brings 28 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 178 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 141 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 220 cm (1.6 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.
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.

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 川渡 weather station — 4.1 km from this ski area, 124 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 263 cm |
| 2023/24 | 166 cm |
| 2024/25 | 382 cm |
| 2025/26 | 241 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 175 cm.
A weather station is not a ski slope. We picked one at a similar elevation, but it stands in a valley or a village. More snow falls on the mountain above it. We have not tried to guess how much more.
