Night skiing is the main event here: the lights stay on until 10 p.m. every evening and until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. A few times a season it stays open all night, until 5 a.m. The area now goes by Spring Valley Sendai Izumi, and it is a separate place from the similarly named Izumigatake Ski Area.

How much snow it gets
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
The tick marks the median across every Japanese ski area we measure. All four bars run the same way — longer is better.
The quality score leaves out how much snow falls (it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind).

Which way the slopes face
95% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
