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.

天津盘山滑雪场, in China, runs from 45 m at the base to 96 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.7 km across, with 6 marked runs (about 1.6 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 8 cm of snowfall a season, 3,054th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 173rd in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (18 cm), brought more than 6 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (3 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (2 and 1 cm on average).

West 0%

98% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
