Japan has a lot of ski resorts!\u00a0 In fact,\u00a0snowjapan.com<\/a>\u00a0states Japan has about 450.\u00a0 For me, Japan is the most perfect place in the world.\u00a0 It is an archipeligo of 4 main islands\u00a0stretching significantly\u00a0north, south, east and west.\u00a0 The geography, the weather and seasons are amazing.\u00a0 Winter is of course my favorite.\u00a0 In February in Tokyo, it is often sunny but cool.\u00a0 Not shorts’ weather at all but certainly not excessively cold.\u00a0 Jump in a bullet train for 1.5 hrs and *poof*, you are at a ski resort where it is snowing!\u00a0 Japan is blessed with a mountain range through the middle of Honshu, the big island.\u00a0 On the Pacific side, sunny and warmer.\u00a0 The mountain range which runs north and south acts like a great big wall, protecting its Pacific side from cold, snowy weather.\u00a0 It also means, as the clouds come over the cold Asian continent and picks up moisture in the Sea of Japan, it dumps heavy snow when it hits these ski mountains, 450 of them!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have tried to pull in data from\u00a0openstreetmaps.org<\/a>.\u00a0 With that data, I have used\u00a0QGIS<\/a>\u00a0to further calculate interesting attributes of each ski mountain or resort such as maximum elevation, minimum elevations, total vertical, length of all ski runs, number of ski runs, same for lifts, and so on.\u00a0 After that, I have place everything over a digital elevation model to make it interactive.\u00a0 Each map comes with a corresponding datatable which displays this info.\u00a0 Zooming in and out of the map makes the datatable refresh with only objects in the rendered window.\u00a0 It is an interactive Japan ski resort map. Try it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
