This winter has come a bit earlier than usual, but for skiing enthusiasts, it is undoubtedly an exciting season. Skiing is a challenge to nature and the limits. At high speeds, your body can no longer contain the wildness within — it's true exhilaration, true passion, a chance to let go completely and race freely through the snow-covered landscapes, experiencing the wonderful joy that skiing brings.
With Beijing and Zhangjiakou successfully bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics, the sport of skiing has rapidly gained popularity among urban white-collar workers in Beijing. On weekends, gathering a few colleagues or friends for a ski trip has become one of the must-do options for winter vacations.
The past month in Beijing has been really tough, with consecutive days of smog making everyone feel suffocated. Fortunately, in the last couple of days, the arrival of the northwest wind swept away the smog that had shrouded the city. Good weather naturally brings good mood. When I suddenly decided on a whim to go skiing outdoors the next day, even I was surprised by my own crazy idea. Which ski resort to go to, how to get there, what to prepare? At that moment, I had no idea at all. But then a friend introduced me to an app called the Lark, and all my worries instantly vanished. Ha, this is said to be a magical sports social mobile app that can help people figure out where to play, who to play with, and how to play. I conveniently found a fishing Yang skiing event on the Lark app, submitted an order with one click, and then just waited for the skiing adventure the next day.
On a shared platform, users who don’t know each other can team up to purchase group experiences. This solves the problem of high per-person service costs for small groups. The Lark platform collaborates with clubs and sports enthusiasts, hiring professional outdoor guides to lead everyone in activities. This allows the guides to turn their hobbies and expertise into easy part-time jobs, while users enjoy a higher-level experience. Whether this model is good or not? You’ll know once you try it yourself.
