The five add up to the 100-point Powder Score: more fresh snow, more on the way and colder air all push it up. How we measure
Skiing on the Moya Pass began with a rope tow in 1959. Aomori City rebuilt the slopes between 1994 and 1997, creating what is now Moya Hills. By day the runs look out over Mutsu Bay, and under the night-skiing lights the city of Aomori is spread out below.

West 12%
85% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 青森大谷 weather station — 9.1 km from this ski area, 124 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 652 cm |
| 2023/24 | 566 cm |
| 2024/25 | 733 cm |
| 2025/26 | 658 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 418 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.
