A weather-model figure, worked out the same way for every ski area, and lower than what actually falls. Use it to compare ski areas, not against the resort’s own totals. How we measure →

On clear days the summit looks out to the Sea of Japan and, farther off, to the Hakusan range and Lake Biwa. There is night skiing, and Imajo 365 Onsen Yasuragi beside the slopes has an open-air bath and a sauna.

The quality score leaves out how much snow falls (it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind).

Compared with what is nearby

Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.

96% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
