We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

Beidahu Ski Resort, in China, runs from 506 m at the base to 1,398 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 7.0 km across, with 74 marked runs and 13 lifts (about 51 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 43 cm of snowfall a season, 2,863rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 33rd in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (63 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (23 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (11 and 10 cm on average).

59% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.
