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.

长春莲花山滑雪场, in China, runs from 253 m at the base to 380 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 1.5 km across, with 13 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 6.3 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 21 cm of snowfall a season, 2,973rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 100th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (33 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2022/23 (11 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (6 and 4 cm on average).

68% 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.
