As early as November, the first snowfall hits Beijing. Some people dig out their long johns early, while others simply fly off to tropical islands to relive summer dreams. But for...skiingenthusiasts, the unbearable spring, summer, and autumn are finally over, and their season has arrived.
Compared to those hibernators who shy away from the cold, these deep addicts of the white drug are ready to hit the slopes in droves when winter strikes—the colder the weather, the wilder they get; the bigger the snowflakes, the more they celebrate.
So, in this extremely cold yet passionate season, we bring you a high-energy "Snow & Ice Film" extravaganza. From December 4 to 27,before 2015 ends, the 'Hot Snow Image Festival' awaits you and fellow skiing enthusiasts for a winter together.

It has strong influence in major first-tier cities and within the industry, making it an unmissableeventfor ski fans every season and a visual feast for the general public during winter.
In 2015, the Hot Snow Image Festival steps out of cinemas, gets closer to ski fans, and integrates with Boiling Snow and the Winter Olympics.Three locations—Beijing Bird’s Nest, Shanghai 360JUMP, and Chongli Genting Miyuan—bring the most spectacular ski season celebration to snow lovers nationwide.
China’s national snowboard team’s season film On Board will be released online and offline on December 4. This season film is the team’s second, following Skiing to Sochi from the 2013/2014 season, documenting the team’s new journey after the Olympics, driven by their passion for snowboarding. The film not only captures highlights from the team’s training and competitions throughout the season, but also showcases moments from their personal lives and the lesser-known, tough rehabilitation process after injuries.
Masters like JT Holmes, Seth Wescott, Caroline Gleich, and Steven Nyman will chase the ultimate in snow sports on the peaks we dream of conquering. We’ll witness the elegant moves of these alpine freestyle masters—every cliff drop, every turn, big or small, will deeply move us. We’ll chase the wind, the snow, the mountaintops, and the freedom they promise. Let’s witness the bold spirit of the U.S. Freeskiing Team and the endless dynamic appeal of snow sports, breaking free from routine and finding new thrills in wakeboarding, surfing, and paragliding.
This film aims to showcase the most primal joy of skiing—the very essence of the sport—not chasing fame or profit, just pure enjoyment and happiness. Whether beginners or pros, all share the same mindset and joy. From Japan’s deep powder to England’s local extreme slopes, from searching for new runs in Alaska to exploring jumps in Iceland’s wilderness, the film reveals every angle of skiing. No blizzard can dampen skiers’ passion—and that passion will be delivered to audiences through this film.
