天桥沟滑雪场

Off season

天桥沟滑雪场 is a ski area in China, at about 709 m. Its mapped area is about 2.0 km across, with 4 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 4.6 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 38 cm of snowfall a season, 2,893rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 46th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (70 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (14 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (10 and 8 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.

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.

96% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
