太行五指山滑雪场

Off season

太行五指山滑雪场 is a ski area in China, at about 691 m. Its mapped area is about 0.5 km across, with 4 marked runs (about 1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 19 cm of snowfall a season, 2,985th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 107th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2023/24 (34 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2018/19 (6 cm). March still brings 4 cm on average, close to January, its snowiest month.

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

Month by month

Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 80% 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 4 cm, less than the median of 6 cm.

Winter by winter

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 19 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2018/19 with 6 cm; the biggest was 2023/24 with 34 cm (5.7 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.

West 26%

74% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
