Sky Valley Ski Area is a ski area in Hyogo, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 523–1019 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 2.1 km². Within 1.6 km of the centre, the map shows 15 marked runs and 11 lifts, totalling about 10 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 241 cm of snowfall a season, 814th (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. 1 official live camera is linked below. 18 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.

The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
92% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hachikogen Ski Resort | 3.2 km | 312 cm | 425 |
| Mikata Snow Park | 3.4 km | 308 cm | 449 |
| Hachikita Kogen | 4.2 km | 308 cm | 449 |
| Hyounosen Kokusai Ski Resort | 4.8 km | 247 cm | 776 |
| Ojiro Ski Resort | 8.3 km | 308 cm | 449 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 35% 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. In amount, March brings 25 cm, less than the median of 45 cm.
What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 兎和野高原 weather station — 4.4 km from this ski area, 231 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 528 cm |
| 2023/24 | 303 cm |
| 2024/25 | 699 cm |
| 2025/26 | 582 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 241 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.

Hot springs nearby, as analysed
2 hot spring sources with published analyses lie within 5 km of this ski area, nearest first (the hottest is 27.3 °C).
| Source | Distance | Temperature | pH | Type | Analysed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| a spring in 香美町(大笹) | 1.2 km | 27.3℃ lukewarm | — | — | 1973 |
| ハチ北温泉 | 1.2 km | 26.9℃ lukewarm | 8.98 alkaline | radioactive (radon) | 2002 |
These are analyses of hot spring sources, not a list of baths you can visit. They date from 1910 to 2005, many from decades ago, so today’s temperature and chemistry may differ. Names are as recorded in Japanese. Temperature and pH bands follow Japan’s standard for analysing hot springs.
