Changbai Mountain International Natural Ski Park

　　   Changbai Mountain International Natural Ski Park, Asia’s largest natural snow-themed ski park, opened on the western slope of Changbai Mountain on January 12, 2009. It is currently China’s only natural ski park based entirely on natural snow and focused on alpine extreme skiing.

　　   Located in the western scenic area of Changbai Mountain, the Changbai Mountain International Natural Ski Park is the country’s first ski resort to use high-powered snowmobiles for full transportation during skiing. It features five natural ski runs, the longest of which is an extreme run stretching 7 kilometers — the longest of its kind in China. The runs are rugged and undulating, offering thrilling challenges. Surrounded by snow-covered mountains, skiers create swirling white trails as they carve down the slopes. They ride snowboards across the vast snowy terrain, descending swiftly from the glistening peaks of Changbai Mountain. Visitors can also drive snowmobiles through forested trails, enjoying the bumpy, twisting, and fast-paced fun in the embrace of the mountains.

　　   To cater to beginner skiers, the park also has a beginner training center with professional instructors on-site. A variety of snow activities such as snow tubing, snowmobiling, and sledding are available, along with well-equipped service facilities including rest areas, ski rental services, and hot food stands. These meet the diverse needs of both extreme sports enthusiasts and casual visitors who want to get close to, play in, or ski on the snow.

　　   Beyond the rich array of snow sports, visitors can also admire the majestic winter scenery of Heaven Lake on Changbai Mountain, as well as the snow-draped valleys and crystal-like trees of the Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon. Glide across the slopes in this naturally formed ski park and enjoy the endless fun that snowy Changbai Mountain has to offer.

　　   Changbai Mountain has a temperate continental mountain climate, with long winters and heavy snowfall. The snow is of high quality, and the snow season lasts from mid-October to mid-June each year — up to eight months — with snow accumulation reaching 1–2 meters, and up to 3–4 meters in deeper areas. The snow is soft, fluffy, and pristine white. The Changbai Mountain International Natural Ski Park takes full advantage of these exceptional snow resources. Following the natural contours of the Changbai Mountain volcanic cone, it has designed natural ski runs. The park spans from the alpine tundra zone at 2,500 meters above sea level to the alpine birch forest zone at 1,700 meters, featuring an 800-meter vertical drop and ski runs extending 8 kilometers in length.

　　   The Changbai Mountain International Natural Ski Park is 315 kilometers from Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, and 30 kilometers from Changbai Mountain Airport. At the western scenic area entrance, there is a four-star Blue View Days Hotel with a reception capacity of over 200 guests.
