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

Formerly Asama 2000 Park, the area sits at Kurumazaka Pass on the Takamine plateau. In winter the only way up is the Cherry Park Line from the Komoro side; the road from Tsumagoi is closed. The Diving run is one broad, open face made for long carved turns. Sources: asama2000.com (sources read 13 Oct 2026; an AI draft the site operator has not yet checked)

94% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
