Yomase Onsen Ski Area is a ski area in Nagano, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 725–1208 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 2.0 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 299 cm of snowfall a season, 491st (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. 138 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| X-JAM Takaifuji | 1.2 km | 554 cm | 53 |
| Kijimadaira Ski Resort | 3.2 km | 366 cm | 251 |
| Kitashiga Komaruyama Ski Resort | 4.0 km | 299 cm | 491 |
| Ryuoo Ski Park | 5.5 km | 407 cm | 162 |
| Shiga Kogen Ichinose Yamanokami Ski Area | 10 km | 341 cm | 322 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 44% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Japan (51%). In amount, March brings 48 cm, about the same as the median of 45 cm.
