OpenSnow, a popular weather forecasting service for snow reports, has launched a snow forecast for Japan.

Japan often attracts skiers from Colorado and across the U.S. due to its massive amounts of snowfall and light snow quality, according to a news release from OpenSnow. The country is ranked among the top powder-skiing destinations in the world.

For the remainder of this season, OpenSnow forecaster Luke Stone will provide forecasts for Japan every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the release states. The forecasts will cover most of the country, including central and northern Honshu and Hokkaido.
