26 fall yuzawakogen movie
By: YuzawaKogen Ropeway · 2026-09-14
Yuzawa Kogen Ski Resort is a ski area in Niigata, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 337–922 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 2.9 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 610 cm of snowfall a season, 31st (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. The nearest city of any size is Nagano, about 64 km away. 3 official live cameras are linked below. 132 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.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ippon Sugi Ski Resort | 1.1 km | 686 cm | 19 |
| NASPA Ski Garden | 1.4 km | 610 cm | 31 |
| Gala Yuzawa Snow Resort | 2.0 km | 610 cm | 31 |

| Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort | 4.2 km | 686 cm | 19 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 39% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (51%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 85 cm, more than the median of 45 cm.

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 湯沢 weather station — 1.7 km from this ski area, 289 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 810 cm |
| 2023/24 | 619 cm |
| 2024/25 | 1080 cm |
| 2025/26 | 732 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 610 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.
