南召猿人山滑雪场

Off season

南召猿人山滑雪场 is a ski area in China, at about 1,117 m. Its mapped area is about 1.2 km across, with 3 marked runs (about 1.5 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 41 cm of snowfall a season, 2,876th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 39th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2019/20 (74 cm), brought more than 9 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (8 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 16 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 50% 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. For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 8 cm, more than the median of 6 cm.

West 0%

58% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
