15th December 2023 440. We're still waiting on information to be updated by around 50 small ski areas!

Official snow depth data daily updates For the 2023-2024 season, we are reporting daily snow depth data for over 350 ski areas nationwide.... 35+ more than last year.

(In some places) we display how the current number has changed (+/-) since the previous update. The data for all the ski areas is updated all at once, once a day. There may be slight delays, but usually no more than one day. SnowJapan doe

Thursday 14th December 2023 We hope you have found this topic to be helpful. It was something new for this season, as we thought it would be a good idea to try and keep track of which ski areas were open every day in the first part of the season. From this weekend, things start to change dramatically, with hundreds of ski areas planning to open over the next week or two. With a Japan-wide mild period over the last week or so, many will likely have to delay their opening... but hopefully not for too long with a cold front due at the weekend. Unfortunately, we are not able to chec
