10 / 100 Powder Score

Banshu Tokura Snow Park is a ski area in Hyogo, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 601–857 m above sea level. The mapped ski area is about 1.0 km across, corner to corner. The map shows 4 marked runs and 3 lifts inside the ski area, totalling about 1.5 km of piste. There is no settled snow at the moment — the season has not started here yet. Averaged over the last twelve winters, the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 205 cm of snowfall a season, 1105th (tied) of the 3,069 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. 4 official live cameras are linked below. 19 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.

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.
