Snow in Toyama
The 4 ski areas in Toyama get 464 cm of snow in a typical season, taking the middle value. That makes it 3rd of the 31 prefectures with ski areas, well above the national median of 268 cm. The snowiest is Tateyama Sanroku Ski Area at 677 cm, 23rd in Japan.
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. By March it is down to 40% of January. That is a steeper fall than the national median of 55%: the snow here is concentrated in the first half of winter. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 61 cm here, more than the national median of 45 cm.
On the quality of what falls: 48% of winter days bring rain, snow falls at an average of −1.3 °C, and 35 days a winter deliver 5 cm or more (all prefecture medians). That is more rain than the national median of 16%, and it is warmer than the country as a whole. The best snow-quality score in the prefecture belongs to Tateyama Sanroku Ski Area, 164th of 395 in Japan.

Snowfall is the 3-winter average from the ERA5 reanalysis, and the model runs low on mountain snow, by different amounts in different regions (the regional map on the Japan page adds that difference back; the figures on this page do not). Read the ranks and the comparisons rather than the centimetres. The month-by-month pattern uses the last 11 winters; rain days, snow-day temperature and 5 cm days use the last three. How we measure
