パルコール嬬恋スキー場伝説のパウダースノー • 東京からわずか2時間 • スキーインスキーアウト
By: パルコール嬬恋リゾート Palcall Tsumagoi Resort · 2026-06-23
Palcall Tsumagoi Resort Ski & Hotel is a ski area in Gunma, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 1376–2028 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 4.0 km². Within 2.8 km of the centre, the map shows 17 marked runs and 7 lifts, totalling about 16 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 181 cm of snowfall a season, 1256th (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. 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.
