Big Air Shougang
Big Air Shougang is a ski area in China, at about 83 m. Its mapped area is about 0.4 km across.
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 170th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (17 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (3 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (2 and 1 cm on average).
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.
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 straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in February. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 2 cm, less than the median of 6 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 8 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2018/19 with 3 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 17 cm (5.7 times as much). For 31% of the 181 ski areas in China, the leanest winter was the same 2018/19: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.
