The five add up to the 100-point Powder Score: more fresh snow, more on the way and colder air all push it up. How we measure
The grounds share space with a luge track built in 1970 as the reserve course for the Sapporo Olympics. The track runs luge taster sessions, booked in advance. Jotetsu buses from Sapporo Station and Makomanai subway station stop within walking distance.

91% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 小金湯 weather station — 5.1 km from this ski area, 131 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 507 cm |
| 2023/24 | 493 cm |
| 2024/25 | 560 cm |
| 2025/26 | 468 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 201 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.

Japan Lift Ticket Prices for 2026/27: What a Day Costs at Twelve Big Resorts, and the Weeks It Costs HalfWe checked the 2026/27 adult day ticket on each resort's own site. At the window it runs from ¥7,000 at Akakura Kanko to ¥16,700 at Rusutsu. Buying online saves up to ¥3,500, and the first and last weeks of the season cost up to half. For those cheap spring weeks, we add which way each resort's slopes face.
