Water Jump Miyagi is a ski area in Miyagi, Japan, on slopes between roughly 213 and 216 m. Its mapped area is about 0.1 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 117 cm of snowfall a season, 359th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2014/15 (183 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2019/20 (82 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 41 cm. Snowfall days average −0.3 °C at mid-mountain, close to freezing, so the snow is often heavy, and its snow-quality score ranks 386th 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.
