New Greenpia Tsunan

ニュー・グリーンピア
10 / 100 Powder Score
No Snow 🌤️ Official site

New Greenpia Tsunan is a ski area in Niigata, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 687–936 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 2.1 km². Within 2.5 km of the centre, the map shows 11 marked runs and 3 lifts, totalling about 6.2 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 610 cm of snowfall a season, 31st (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 57 km away. 1 official live camera is linked below. 133 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 January. March brings 39% 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. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 85 cm, more than the median of 45 cm.

What was actually measured nearby

Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 津南 weather station — 4.9 km from this ski area, 359 m below its mid-slope.

Three-season average987 cm
2023/24817 cm
2024/251240 cm
2025/26903 cm

The figure calculated on this page is 610 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.
