Today's top Asia SnowSure resorts are led by Hakuba and Happo-One in Japan, both with a fair SnowSure score of 29 and a minimal snow base of 1cm. Despite limited snowfall, these resorts remain popular due to their expansive terrain and vibrant après-ski scene. Myoko Kogen holds a 46cm snow base, offering decent terrain quality for spring skiing. Kiroro, with its 52cm base, provides better snow coverage, ideal for those seeking less crowded slopes. Shiga Kogen, with a 58cm base, ranks among the best in terms of terrain quality despite no recent snowfall. These conditions highlight Japan as the go-to destination in Asia for late-season skiing.
In the last 24 hours, Shiga Kogen received no fresh snow, reflecting a quiet period for storm activity across Asia. However, with its substantial snow base, Shiga Kogen remains a top choice for powder enthusiasts seeking consistent conditions. As no resorts experienced new snowfall, today might be better for exploring groomed trails rather than chasing fresh powder. Keep an eye on upcoming forecasts for potential snow events.
Looking ahead, Hakuba and Happo-One promise the best conditions over the next 14 days with an expected 5cm of snow. Kiroro is also set to receive 3cm, maintaining its appeal. These slight snowfalls are anticipated to enhance skiing conditions, particularly around mid-May. Skiers should plan trips to these areas to take advantage of the upcoming snow, ensuring a memorable end to the season.
