According to JMA:

First column = year
Second column = snowfall
Third column = depth of snow

Nice Stats. That's a hellofalot of snow. Would be great if they had any steep terrain razz

Well, that's what you do when you want to change the direction of what is being discussed isn't it.

OK. Yuzawa beats Hakuba. Back on topic.

(Facetious, yes, but 11 meters at town level IS awesome)

rider69, comparing the snow that you get in Gunma resorts to that which falls in Yuzawa resorts is like comparing apples and dangleberries from a dog's arse!! Even although the resorts are "just over the mountains" from each other, the difference in quality and quantity is meteoric
