涞源七山滑雪场

Off season

涞源七山滑雪场 is a ski area in China, at about 926 m. Its mapped area is about 2.0 km across, with 9 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 5.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 14 cm of snowfall a season, 3,016th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 139th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2020/21 (28 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (7 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (2 and 2 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.
