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.

金象山滑雪场, in China, runs from 352 m at the base to 400 m at the top. Its mapped area is about 0.5 km across, with 2 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 0.3 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 16 cm of snowfall a season, 3,003rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 124th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (33 cm), brought more than 8 times as much as the leanest, 2014/15 (4 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (4 and 4 cm on average).

How much snow it gets

100% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

The most snow falls in February. March brings 50% 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 2 cm, less than the median of 6 cm.
