Beijing Huaibei International Ski Resort opened in 2001 and is one of the oldest ski resorts in Beijing. Huaibei International Ski Resort is located in the national AAA-level scenic spot - Jiugukou Natural Scenic Area, and the beautiful scenery makes people feel good. The most praising thing for tourists is that the ski resort is surrounded by the stretching Great Wall, and the only "sandwich building" in the Great Wall is not far from the ski resort. Skiing while taking photos with the Great Wall is a rare experience.
"The snowflakes of Yanshan are as big as a seat" is Li Bai's poem describing the scenery of the northern country, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows the coldness of Yanshan in winter. Huaibei International Ski Resort is located in the Yanshan Mountains, surrounded by mountains, with excellent natural conditions. However, the ski resort mainly relies on artificial snow, and visitors can still see snow guns at work from time to time. The environment ensures that the formed snowflakes can maintain a high quality for a long time.
Huaibei International Ski Resort has 1 advanced trail, 3 intermediate trails, 3 beginner trails, and 1 practice trail. It can be seen that Huaibei International Ski Resort is more suitable for ordinary skiers. Ski runs 2, 3 and 4 are beginner runs with a length of 200 meters, 550 meters and 320 meters, respectively. It is worth mentioning that the width of No. 2 reaches 70 meters, and the average slope is also about 10% (6°), which is very low and suitable for novices. No. 6 ski trail is the only high-level trail in Huaibei International, with a total length of about 850 meters and a width of about 20 meters. The average slope of the piste is 43.8% (26°), which is tempting for experienced skiers. Intermediate trails 5 and 7 are also 800 meters long, making them ideal for practice. Tourists who are looking for more ways to play can choose to play in the snowboard park, fun chase track, ski park, and snow park. When tired of playing, visitors can also go to the Great Wall viewing terrace to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Great Wall.
In terms of cable cars, the investment in Huaibei International Ski Resort is not very large. There are only 3 lifts in the ski resort, and all of them are chairlifts, which makes it difficult for visitors to experience the cold wind. However, Huaibei International Ski Resort has set up a cable car in the beginner area, which is rare in Beijing. In addition, there are 4 large drags and 3 snow magic carpets available in the venue. Since there will not be too many tourists in Huaibei International Ski Resort, these transportation configurations are sufficient.
In the ski equipment rental area, 4,000 sets of branded skis, 1,500 sets of ski clothes, 1,500 lockers and other equipment are available for tourists to rent. If tourists want to go up the middle and high-end roads, or take the cable car, the official will require tourists to wear helmets, which shows the importance of the safety of tourists. It is worth mentioning that the cashier does not support credit card promotions, and visitors need to swipe their cards at the ticket office. For some high-end users, the ski resort is equipped with VIP rest service area, book bar, coffee shop, computer office area and other facilities for use. There are many privileges for VIP users, such as the official reserved VIP exclusive parking space, exclusive green channel (you can enjoy priority ski consumption procedures), officially reserved new snow clothes, changing area, different sizes of snowshoes and enjoy the use of top head boards, etc. However, VIP is a group service, you must book with the official first, and the average price should be at least 20 yuan higher than the market price.
Huaibei International Ski Resort has about 100 professional ski instructors to choose from to meet the needs of tourists of different skill levels. The ski instructors are very enthusiastic and basically have a good service attitude. However, some coaches will sell courses all the time, and some will affect the user experience. On each slope, the official claims that there is a safety officer on standby every 50 meters or so, which is a high safety factor.
In terms of catering, Huaibei International Ski Resort also provides a variety of choices, including Chinese and Western restaurants, cafes, Meishu hotels, and Meishu restaurants. As for the taste, it can only be said that it is a matter of opinion. Because there is a long queue at the restaurant during meal time, it is difficult for tourists who bring their own instant noodles to find a place to sit. In addition, it is not very convenient to get hot water, so it is recommended that tourists bring their own hot water.
Accommodation is available at the ski slopes, and 11 chalet villas are located not far from the pistes. Officially, the cottages were imported from Finland and the United States. Each villa is a two-storey duplex with 8 standard beds and a large living room as well as a kitchen. Although the interior environment of the house is not exquisite, it is relatively clean, and the floor heating also ensures the user experience. If you don't find your needs satisfied, there are plenty of 3-star hotels to consider around the ski resort, including one that is 5-star.
