Rescue, in the literal sense, refers to the entire process by which an individual or group receives aid during a disaster or other extraordinary situation (including natural disasters, accidents, sudden hazardous events, etc.). The purpose of rescue is to save lives, and because of its urgency, whether the best outcomes can be attained quickly will determine whether lives can be saved.
The premise of rescue is urgency, and racing against time is the main theme of rescue operations, making the mode of transportation for rescue efforts extremely important. Traditional rescue vehicles primarily include land-based ones such as cars and trains, which are widely available and have high carrying capacities. However, under extreme road conditions and natural environments following certain natural disasters, these land vehicles become the weakest link in the entire rescue chain. As a result, it is no surprise that reopening lifelines in disaster areas becomes the most critical task after saving lives. All of this has led to helicopters playing an increasingly important role in current rescue operations.

Ski resort rescue is just the beginning. Xinxueguo Ski Resort is currently actively seeking cooperation with Chinese rescue organizations, and in the future, it will participate in domestic natural disaster rescue efforts.
