National Alpine Skiing Centre

Off season

National Alpine Skiing Centre is a ski area in China, on slopes between roughly 1,432 and 1,432 m. Its mapped area is about 5.2 km across, with 16 marked runs and 11 lifts (about 18 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 20 cm of snowfall a season, 2,978th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 103rd in China. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (36 cm), brought more than 6 times as much as the leanest, 2014/15 (6 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 range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.

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.
