%X The Tianshan Station for Snow Cover and Avalanche Research was built in 1967, which is the only field observation station in China and Central Asia to conduct long-term snow and avalanche monitoring and professional research. The station has long carried out field climate, snow, frozen soil and avalanche observation, hydrological process and avalanche formation mechanism research, disaster prevention and mitigation technology research and development, integration, demonstration and promotion, cooperation and exchange, personnel training, science education, etc. The station is mainly engaged in snow disaster prevention and management, snow characteristics, snow hydrology and snow disaster response to global climate change and other related issues. This dataset is a compilation of artificial paper records of the Station from 1967 to 2021.All the records are repaired and bound, and all the data are manually entered. It provides scientific and technological basis for the smooth implementation of regional ecological security and infrastructure construction, and promotes the development of climate change, snow hydrology and water resources and snow disaster science research. The attribute information of this dataset mainly includes: (1) Daily mean snow depth data of  TSSAR from 1967 to 2021; The unit is cm; (2) Daily snow density data of  TSSAR from 1967 to 2021; The unit is kg/cm3; (3)  Snow water equivalent data of Tianshan snow avalanche station from 1967 to 2021; The unit is mm; (4) Snow phenology data of Tianshan snow avalanche station from 1967 to 2021(initial time of snow cover, end time of snow cover, start time of snow melt, and duration of snow cover).
