Ashimoi Kanko Takaho Ski Area

ASHIMOI KANKO高穂スキー場

6 / 100 Powder Score

No Snow 🌧️

Ashimoi Kanko Takaho Ski Area is a ski area in Hokkaido, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 58–129 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 0.4 km². Within 2.5 km of the centre, the map shows 2 marked runs and 1 lift, totalling about 0.7 km of piste. There is no settled snow at the moment — the season has not started here yet. Over the last three winters the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 256 cm of snowfall a season, 694th (tied) of the 3,112 ski areas we measure worldwide. The model runs well below what resorts report, so the ranking is the meaningful part rather than the centimetre figure. 1 official live camera is linked below. 45 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.

The tick marks the median across the 395 Japanese ski areas. 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.

What was actually measured nearby

Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 石狩沼田 weather station — 3 km from this ski area, 30 m below its mid-slope.

Three-season average	755 cm
2023/24	798 cm
2024/25	808 cm
2025/26	658 cm

The figure calculated on this page is 256 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.
