仙女山滑雪场

Off season

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.

仙女山滑雪场, in China, runs from 1,801 m at the base to 1,846 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.6 km across, with 3 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 0.8 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 65 cm of snowfall a season, 2,704th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 18th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (115 cm), brought more than 16 times as much as the leanest, 2014/15 (7 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 23 cm.

Compared with what is nearby

Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.

63% 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 26% 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.
