紫花岭滑雪场
No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.
A weather-model figure, worked out the same way for every ski area, and lower than what actually falls. Use it to compare ski areas, not against the resort’s own totals. How we measure →

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.
紫花岭滑雪场, in China, runs from 193 m at the base to 237 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.5 km across, with 3 marked runs (about 0.5 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 27 cm of snowfall a season, 2,932nd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 71st in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (42 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2022/23 (13 cm). February is usually the snowiest month, with about 8 cm.
How much snow it gets
Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qipanshan Ski Resort | 42.0 km | 22 cm | 2963 |
| 东北亚滑雪场 | 48.0 km | 22 cm | 2963 |
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
Only 0% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. The most common direction is west (62%).
By difficulty
Source: OpenSkiMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0). How finely ski areas are drawn varies by region, so treat the counts as indicative. Vertical is the difference between the highest and lowest points of the mapped runs and lifts.
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in February. March brings 86% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in China (127%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 6 cm, about the same as the median of 6 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 27 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2022/23 with 13 cm; the biggest was 2019/20 with 42 cm (3.2 times as much). For 31% of the 181 ski areas in China the leanest winter was 2018/19; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
