6 / 100 Powder Score

No Snow ☁️ Official site

Teshio Chomin Ski Area is a ski area in Hokkaido, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 25–87 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 0.7 km². 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 226 cm of snowfall a season, 895th (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. 14 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.

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.

What was actually measured nearby

Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 天塩 weather station — 5.5 km from this ski area, 47 m below its mid-slope.

Three-season average	420 cm
2023/24	384 cm
2024/25	475 cm
2025/26	401 cm

The figure calculated on this page is 226 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.
