X'mas 去邊度滑雪好

[kksmsc]

各位, 有D咩好地方提意可以X'mas 去滑雪, 除咗北海度外日本可以有邊度啱. 唔知北京又點睇.Thanks!:)

beijing is ok since there is no xmas holiday. It is not as crowded as japan. also quite cheap when rmb is not so high.
I usually go to Wanlong Ski Resort which is 3-4 hours drive from beijing. the slopes are about 2km, takes you 5-10min from top to bottom depending on your speed. of course, you cant compare it to japan in terms of size and snow, but its better than none. or you can go to Nanshan which is just half or one third the size of wanlong.
If you are going there in xmas, you would definitely see me and some hkers. I am a regular visitor during xmas.

有D人話, 安全設施不太好? 因為會同小朋友去(雖然已經玩咗2年Snowboard).X'mas 時D雪夠唔夠?

[hknz]

what do you mean by 安全設施?
There are safety nets on the side of the trail.

and what do you mean by 雪夠唔夠?
enough to ski including man-made snow and not icy, quite easy to ski, but dont expect it to be powder.

[kksmsc]

Thank you so much!
Man-made snow......that mean 唔夠雪.
Anyway, I still want to plan my X'mas holiday to Beijing,suggest some more ski court or resort please,usually we spend 4-6 days for ski at the trip, so can try to visit one more court.

Sir Issac Newton told me in my dream that an opposing traffic traveling at 50 will meet the unlucky one at 170( by the yet infamous Murphy's law). :)

C Hing ,

I also want to go Beijing in early Jan . Do you know which resort is the largest and
has more tracks ???? :p

[One2Free]

afterall this is china .. dun expect too much into chinese driving !!!
just pray .. relax .. and close ur eyes along the way .. hoping u'll arrive in one piece !!!

wow .. nice to hear so many ppl wanna come to beijing ..
sounds like the olympics is doing its work !!!

wanlong is the largest .. but its 3 to 5 hrs (anything can happen) away from beijing ..
more tracks means 7 or 9 !?!?!
check out their website .. www.wlski.com (http://www.wlski.com)

kk, if you have 4-6 days, wanlong is ok enough which you dont need to bother the transportation. I dont think it is a good idea to go to another ski resort. You would be exhausted. and wanlong would be enough for you.
yes, agree to one2free, wanlong is the biggest. dont think others.

[One2Free]

wanlong .. max 2 days enuff lah .. maybe spend another day @ dolomiti !?
the rest of the days u may wanna visit the olympics sites ..

[siugai]

based on your conversation...i'm thinking to go to wanlong instead of nanshan! which one is better??? and is it hard to get to wanlong? 'coz i'll have my board with meeeee

[One2Free]

wanlong (and dolomiti) is/are 4 hrs drive from beijing ..
(someone reported the new highway is finished ..
3 hrs drive now .. but well .. this is china .. anything can happen ..)
local ski/board grps/operators/freaks/maniacs do organise trips to the resorts wkly ..

Why bother if it is so far away, so unreliable and so risky? :confused: Might as well go to Japan.

[One2Free]

oh yes .. not recommand for those travelling from elsewhere ..
i live and work here in beijing .. so 4 hrs coach trip is alright ..
used to drive myself 6 hrs for skiing/boarding back in sydney !!!

Driving 6 hours from Sydney to Snowy Mountain is OK. I frequently drove over 12 hours from London to the Alps in the old days, but then the ski rsorts are worth all the effort to get there.

In my opinion, those in China (near Beijing) are not even worth the 4 hours travelling time. :mad:

[siugai]

it's quite true! and now i'm 15/16 if i should fly to vancouver to snowboard in whistler during cny!! 'coz the deal from cathy is super cheap!

[One2Free]

no choice lah ..
no one wants to hire me in other parts on this planet ..
only worked and lived in australia hk china ..
*sob*sob*

[siugai]

beijing isnt that bad afterall, i think!
i dun think it's worse than hk

[One2Free]

can't compare to other ski fields around the world lah ..
skiing/boarding in china is just at the "baby stage" compare to the others !!!
