Izumi-Chuo, the last stop on Sendai's Namboku subway line, has a city bus to the end of its route at the Sentake Nature Center. The beginner slope is unusually wide and floodlit for night skiing. Outside the snow season the hill becomes a spot for imoni stew parties and barbecues.

How much snow it gets
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
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 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
