Jundushan Ski Resort

Would you relate skiing to Beijing? A lesser known fact about the Capital, is that it is surrounded by ski resorts. When the winter months draw by, the locals will head to one of the many ski resorts to practice this winter sport. I would consider skiing as a luxury, because we cannot ski in the Tropics! Adding on it is quite costly to ski in Europe, Canada, United States, Japan & Korea etc. Trust me skiing in China is a steal!

A list of ski resorts surrounding Beijing. Here's another site for you to check out.


Jundushan Ski Resort



We picked this resort as it is just 30km away from the city. We had a little misadventure at the ski resort due to our slight disobedience. There was a sign warning beginners not to get onto the ski lift. However curiosity got the better of us and we got on. To our horror, we found ourself at the top of the expert slope and there was no other way except to ski down! After deliberating for 1/2 an hour, we decided to take the plunge. And I bade farewell to the resort by leaving a "bum imprint" on the snow for the very last time! *Learning lesson - do not take the ski lift if you are just a novice.
