Nikko Yumoto Onsen Ski Park is a ski area in Tochigi, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 1490–1848 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 1.3 km². Within 2.5 km of the centre, the map shows 6 marked runs and 3 lifts, totalling about 2.5 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 230 cm of snowfall a season, 872nd (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. 115 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.

Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
96% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marunuma Kogen Ski Resort | 6.3 km | 258 cm | 687 |
| Snow Park Oze Tokura | 16 km | 259 cm | 669 |
| Katashina Kogen Ski Resort | 17 km | 259 cm | 669 |
| White World Oze Iwakura | 18 km | 259 cm | 669 |
| Katashina Ogna Hotaka Snow Resort | 20 km | 259 cm | 669 |
