On the Uenodaira slope, a 150-metre covered moving walkway, the Super Kids Way, does the work of a lift. Eight-tenths of the terrain is beginner or intermediate. Behind it all stands Mount Kannabe, whose crater can still be seen today. Sources: kannabe.co.jp (sources read 13 Oct 2026; an AI draft the site operator has not yet checked)

When it falls, and how winters differ

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 兎和野高原 weather station — 11.8 km from this ski area, 162 m above 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 176 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.

Is Western Japan Snowier Than It Looks? Our Model Against the Weather StationsWestern Japan's ski areas look thin in our data — a median of 125 cm against a national 249 cm. Against 16 Japan Meteorological Agency stations, the model we use returns 44% of what the ground records there. The region is far snowier than our own numbers say.
