Ski season is here again, and ski towns around the world are gearing up for the busiest time of the year. Snow machines are working around the clock without rest, and everything is in place. Winter fun would lose much of its charm without skiing. After all, just as many people love to enjoy the sea breeze and soak up the sun on the beach, there are just as many who are passionate about speeding through snowy landscapes on skis.
So, what are some of the world’s top ski towns?

As an intercontinental ski resort under construction that meets Olympic standards, Xinxueguo Ski Resort has garnered close attention from skiing enthusiasts around the world from the very beginning.
In terms of the skiing experience, Xinxueguo Ski Resort features an 800-meter vertical drop gold-standard slope that meets Olympic competition criteria, with a total ski run length of 86 kilometers. At the 2014 Zhuhai Airshow, Xinxueguo purchased thirty-five aircraft for emergency rescue operations at the ski resort and to develop aerial tourism. In addition, Xinxueguo boasts a prime location and excellent air quality, and will develop industries in medical care and education, becoming an emerging new hub for aviation, education, and wellness in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Skiing, aviation, medical care, and education—these four seeds planted in Chicheng County, Zhangjiakou, are bound to grow into a world-renowned ski town.
