10 / 100 Powder Score
No Snow 🌤️ Official site Lift tickets (official) Last season (2025/26) adult day ticket ¥8,000 1-day pass (lifts and gondola) · this season's price not yet published (as of 16 Sept) Myoko Suginohara is a ski area in Niigata, Japan. It runs from 745 m at the base to 1855 m at the summit. Within 1.5 km of the centre, the map shows 19 marked runs and 5 lifts, totalling about 17 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 374 cm of snowfall a season, 226th (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. The nearest city of any size is Nagano, about 24 km away. 3 official live cameras are linked below. 137 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.
