天柱山滑雪胜地
天柱山滑雪胜地 is a ski area in China, at about 727 m. Its mapped area is about 0.5 km across.
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 20 cm of snowfall a season, 2,978th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 106th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2017/18 (41 cm), brought more than 13 times as much as the leanest, 2024/25 (3 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 11 cm.
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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 9% 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 1 cm, less than the median of 6 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 20 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2024/25 with 3 cm; the biggest was 2017/18 with 41 cm (13.7 times as much).
