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
Snowboard World Cup events have been staged on this hill. Once evening falls and the floodlights come on, the view changes: skiers make their way down with the lights of central Asahikawa spread out below them, so a night session here doubles as a look at the city after dark.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in December. March brings 78% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 38 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.

Japan Lift Ticket Prices for 2026/27: What a Day Costs at Twelve Big Resorts, and the Weeks It Costs HalfWe checked the 2026/27 adult day ticket on each resort's own site. At the window it runs from ¥7,000 at Akakura Kanko to ¥16,700 at Rusutsu. Buying online saves up to ¥3,500, and the first and last weeks of the season cost up to half. For those cheap spring weeks, we add which way each resort's slopes face.
