Water Jump Miyagi is a ski area in Miyagi, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 213–216 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 0.1 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 106 cm of snowfall a season, 2098th (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. 2 official live cameras are linked below. 54 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Mary | 10 km | 243 cm | 802 |
| Miyagi Zao Eboshi Resort | 11 km | 297 cm | 503 |
| Miyagi Zao Sumikawasu Snow Park | 13 km | 297 cm | 503 |
| Miyagi Zao Shiroishi Ski Resort | 16 km | 206 cm | 1025 |
| Zao Onsen | 19 km | 297 cm | 503 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 62% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (51%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 21 cm, less than the median of 45 cm.
