Weather at Nanshan
Weather at Nanshan: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway. Updated several times a day.
What the weather at Nanshan is usually like
The ski area runs from 73 to 254 m above sea level - a 181 m vertical. In January the daytime average is 2 °C at the base and 1 °C at the summit. Plan for that 1 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top. Midwinter days at the base run above freezing, so the lower runs soften by midday and the morning snow lasts longer higher up.
Average daytime highs stay above freezing even at the summit all year, so the season here rests entirely on night frosts and snowmaking.
Snowmaking covers 100% of the runs, so the start of the season barely depends on when natural snow arrives. The season usually runs from 25 November to 8 March.
By January the base is around 2 °C while the summit still holds 1 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
