Skiing in Beijing

Most of the ski resorts in Beijing would operate between the end of November and mid-February of the following year. However, because of their business plan and also the weather, they have their own opening schedule. You need to contact the resorts for the most up-to-date ski information.
There are often private shops rent ski clothes and equipment on the way at the major ski resorts. They usually ask for cheaper rates than that located inside the resort.
Most of them only provide basic accommodation except for some top ski resorts like Nanshan Ski Village, which offers nice lodges. In addition, if you're planning an overnight stay, you can find the better places available near the ski resorts instead of in the resorts.
You should pack a snack. Skiing and snowboarding can be exhausting, and the low temperature speeds the loss of body heat. So you need to prepare some nutrition bars for an energy boost on the slope.
