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.

吉华长寿山滑雪场, in China, runs from 250 m at the base to 451 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.7 km across, with 10 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 5.9 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 31 cm of snowfall a season, 2,917th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 60th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (44 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (18 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (10 and 5 cm on average).

91% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
