黄河石林滑雪场

Off season

黄河石林滑雪场 is a ski area in China, at about 1,787 m. Its mapped area is about 0.8 km across, with 5 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 1.6 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 13 cm of snowfall a season, 3,020th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 146th in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2024/25 (17 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2019/20 (8 cm). March still brings 4 cm on average, close to February, 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.

100% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
