SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 23, 2014 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 23, 2014 Until now this season you have been able to check out the official snow depths at ski resorts and play around with sorting of that data in the Prefecture listings on the site. You didn't know?! Well just to recap: Go to our Resorts section of the main site: http://www.snowjapan...pan-ski-resorts OK on the left side you will see a list of prefectures. Click on one, for example Nagano: http://www.snowjapan...efecture/nagano Sugoi! Look, there's all the ski jo in Nagano! See the top of the columns? Click on any of those to sort the data by that field. Click on it again to sort the opposite way. By doing this you can list up the resorts by snow depth, just like this: http://www.snowjapan...th&sortdir=DESC Or indeed you can sort the resorts by town name or any of the other fields on that age. Yes, I know, it's exciting stuff. But now, and at last, we have our "all Japan" list ready. Hurray! And here it is: http://www.snowjapan...ial-snow-depths The data is updated daily. Please note the disclaimer at the bottom and use it for what it is. If a resort is not listed, it means that there is no official snow depth data being supplied by that resort. And we are still in the process of linking it up and making a few fine adjustments..... I just wanted to let you know here as soon as it was working. As such I'm not putting it on our News page yet or on our ridiculously popular and fabulously thrilling Facebook page. Hope it is interesting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
onehunga 26 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thanks SJ-David, it is certainly interesting. Wish some of the resorts close to the top were closer to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Cool. Love playing around with these charts when I've got some free time. I've been able to find places that would otherwise have never showed up on my radar! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 23, 2014 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 23, 2014 Oh yes here is the chart sorted by "new snowfall since previous day": http://www.snowjapan.com/japan-ski-resorts/official-snow-depths?sort=SnowDepthCompareToYesterday&sortdir=DESC Link to post Share on other sites
pdoull 2 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 That is interesting - thanks for the info Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 23, 2014 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 23, 2014 OK we have now linked this up. There's a link now on the main index page of the site, http://www.snowjapan.com. There is a dropdown link under the "Daily Reports" main navigation of the site... which means that you can get to the chart from every page of the website now. Also added a few new graphic button links to the main Daily Reports page, below the Calendar: http://www.snowjapan...weather-reports. I've also added a link in the Daily Reports drop down menu at the top of the Forums. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Nice! Mt Granview is not at the top of the list... Presumably that will get straightened out when the database is updated. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted January 23, 2014 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 23, 2014 I reckon you are right. Mt Granview also have a reputation for.. er... under-reporting. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 That is interesting. I'm surprised myself at the Niigata ones --- especially Hakkaisan! Seems odd that one. Link to post Share on other sites

andy63_5 0 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Awesome! There are some places that I've never heard of nor seen in the travel books. I hope that the lesser known ones will be less crowded. Saving some ideas for next season! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The lesser known ones could well be deserted, especially on weekdays Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I would say most of them probably are on weekdays. Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Interesting to see how this is shaping up now. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 It is. I didn't realise that many places were still open at this stage of the season. Link to post Share on other sites
7-11 2 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Will the data stay as it is now until next season? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted May 12, 2014 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted May 12, 2014 I had noticed that myself yesterday actually. Looks like the date keeps on updating but the data is obviously old now that the season has finished. We are not in control of that data of course. It would be ideal to note that on the page though not sure if we can do that. Link to post Share on other sites
