This season so far (1 Nov to 9 Nov): 3 cm. The average for these dates is under 10 cm, so we do not give a percentage yet. The average is over twelve winters on the same weather model. Across Japan →

The Giant course holds a mogul run with deep bumps and a kicker, used by athletes for training and competitions. Rime ice forms on the trees along the No. 6 lift to the summit. Shirakaba no Yu, beside the slopes, is a day-use alkaline hot spring. Sources: takatsue.jp, tif.ne.jp (sources read 13 Oct 2026; an AI draft the site operator has not yet checked)
