Bihoro Lily Yama Ski Area is a ski area in Hokkaido, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 11–91 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 0.5 km². Within 2.5 km of the centre, the map shows 1 marked runs and 1 lift, totalling about 0.4 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 143 cm of snowfall a season, 1663rd (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. 14 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 77% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (51%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 30 cm, less than the median of 45 cm.

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 女満別 weather station — 7.2 km from this ski area, 18 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 281 cm |
| 2023/24 | 245 cm |
| 2024/25 | 287 cm |
| 2025/26 | 311 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 143 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.
