Skiing at Nanshan

I had another opportunity to go skiing in China on Saturday. I went with co-workers to a resort called Nanshan. It is one of the closer resorts to Beijing (less than an hour from Shunyi suburbs where many expats live in housing compounds).

Nanshan had an advanced slope, a tethered hang glider ride, and an alpine slide. The runs were shorter than the previous resort I went to. They also had a nice deck to eat meat on a stick and beer. They had chicken liver, squid, chicken legs, beef, etc that were barbecued with a nice spicy dry rub.
The snow was very fast and icy at 8:30 but it loosened up with sun beating down on it. The lines were shorter than normal even after lunch. We are speculating that it is due to the Chinese New Year which starts next week. To ski and rent equipment it costs 190RMB (roughly $25). Not bad. This is a great place to teach kids to ski at a very reasonable price.
