No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

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.
泾川天池滑雪场, in China, runs from 1,232 m at the base to 1,254 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.5 km across, with 1 marked run (about 0.3 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 22 cm of snowfall a season, 2,963rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 95th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (33 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2019/20 (12 cm). February is usually the snowiest month, with about 8 cm.
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. 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 |

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.

Slope shape, difficulty and lift types
The shape of the mountain
Which way the slopes face
100% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
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
Month by month, the most snow falls in February. March brings 67% 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 4 cm, less than the median of 6 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 22 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2019/20 with 12 cm; the biggest was 2021/22 with 33 cm (2.8 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
