10 / 100 Powder Score

No Snow ☁️ Official site Lift tickets (official)

Jibusaka Ski Area is a ski area in Nagano, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 1156–1370 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 1.1 km². Within 2.5 km of the centre, the map shows 3 marked runs and 2 lifts, totalling about 3.5 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 94 cm of snowfall a season, 2280th (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. 3 official live cameras are linked below. 48 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 February. March brings 96% 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 24 cm, less than the median of 45 cm.
