Pierścienica – Kielce

Off season

Pierścienica – Kielce is a ski area in Poland, at about 321 m. Its mapped area is about 0.6 km across, with 1 marked run and 3 lifts (about 0.5 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 43 cm of snowfall a season, 2,863rd (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 76th in Poland. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2022/23 (75 cm), brought more than 5 times as much as the leanest, 2019/20 (15 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 18 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.

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