神农架国际滑雪场

Off season

神农架国际滑雪场 is a ski area in China, at about 2,243 m. Its mapped area is about 1.5 km across, with 5 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 1.4 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 84 cm of snowfall a season, 2,539th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 6th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2016/17 (122 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2014/15 (41 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 28 cm.

Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.

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.
