In the frosty peaks of Altay City’s Jiangjun Hill Ski Resort, a 70-year-old sensation dubbed Grandpa Bear is redefining winter fun. Chen Xuedong, a Beijing native, swaps city life for snowy slopes each year, trading his everyday attire for a fuzzy bear suit and carving up the powder like a pro. ❄️
But Grandpa Bear isn’t just a viral-ready spectacle—he’s a DIY guru, crafting his own skis from scratch, and a mentor to young snow enthusiasts. His infectious energy has turned him into a local icon, proving that age is no match for passion. "Skiing connects me to nature and people," Chen says. "Every turn on the mountain feels like a new adventure." 🌟
From teaching tricks to sharing laughs, Chen’s story is a heartwarming reminder that winter sports aren’t just for the young—or the serious. Who says you can’t shred slopes and spread joy in a bear costume? 🎿✨
