久万スキーランド

Off season

No snow yet. Not open yet for 2026/27. We have not yet found an official opening date. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.

Typical snowfall

46cm

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 →

Elevation: 895–995 m
Across: 0.6 km

Snow here comes from an ice-crush snowmaking system, so the hill can open even in lean snow years. It is about 30 minutes by car from Matsuyama IC, and under an hour from Matsuyama itself. Night skiing runs every day of the season. Sources: kumax.co.jp (sources read 13 Oct 2026; an AI draft the site operator has not yet checked)

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

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

The most snow falls in January. March brings 30% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 6 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.
