Kagamiganaru Ski Area is a ski area in Tottori, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 920–1051 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 0.4 km². Within 1.6 km of the centre, the map shows 1 marked runs and 2 lifts, totalling about 0.3 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 221 cm of snowfall a season, 921st (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. 2 official live cameras are linked below. 23 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.
Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.

How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,112 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| OkuDaisen Ski resort | 3.1 km | 221 cm | 921 |
| Daisen Masumizu Kogen Snow Park | 7.4 km | 193 cm | 1139 |
| Daisen White Resort | 7.6 km | 192 cm | 1148 |
| Hiruzen Bear Valley Ski Resort | 9.6 km | 192 cm | 1148 |
| Ski & Board Resort Tsuguro Kogen | 21 km | 134 cm | 1759 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 43% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (51%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 28 cm, less than the median of 45 cm.
What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 大山 weather station — 7.4 km from this ski area, 110 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 677 cm |
| 2023/24 | 567 cm |
| 2024/25 | 773 cm |
| 2025/26 | 691 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 221 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.
