Move over, Netflix binges—China’s ski slopes are the new winter obsession! From frosty northern peaks to unexpected southern destinations, resorts nationwide are buzzing with ice-snow enthusiasts carving their way through the season.
In Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, sub-zero temps couldn’t freeze the stoke. Newbies bundled up like K-pop idols braved chilly winds to master their first slopes. One local instructor laughed: \"Last week, I taught a group who brought hot pot ingredients in their backpacks—priorities, right?\"
This winter sports boom isn’t just about shredding powder. Post-2022 Beijing Olympics, China’s ice-snow economy has snowballed faster than a TikTok trend. Whether you’re a pro or just here for the après-ski selfies, there’s a slope (and a dumpling stand) with your name on it.
