何家沟滑雪场

Off season

何家沟滑雪场 is a ski area in China, at about 129 m. Its mapped area is about 0.9 km across, with 6 marked runs and 6 lifts (about 2.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 15 cm of snowfall a season, 3,008th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 133rd in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (24 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (8 cm). December brings as much snow as January here (4 and 4 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Winter by winter

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 15 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2018/19 with 8 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 24 cm (3.0 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.
