Professional judges at the showdown — here they go with style!
This edition of the "Green Field Skiing Showdown" was the first time in the event’s history to be held outside of Beijing. The long journey did not dampen the enthusiasm of the "Showdowners"; instead, they were filled with anticipation for the new venue. The "Mass Slalom Race" was the highlight of this year’s event. After a year of buildup, skiing enthusiasts finally had the chance to showcase their skills. The course was meticulously designed in line with the showdown’s principle of "mass participation," ensuring fun while featuring professional gate setups and international timing equipment. This allowed participants to enjoy the thrill of competition while gaining a clear understanding of their own abilities. The formalization of an amateur competition was another highlight of this event.

During the mass slalom competition, exciting scenes unfolded one after another, with fierce competition in all four categories: men’s and women’s alpine skiing, and men’s and women’s snowboarding. The format was a single-run timed race, where participants started in drawn order. Without competitors right beside them, it truly became a personal challenge. In the end, Yu Xiaolu and Li Wenbin won the women’s alpine and snowboard championships respectively; Xin Weijun, Yuan Hao, and Niu Jun claimed the men’s snowboard championship, runner-up, and third place respectively; Cheng Zengyue, Ma Wenkui, and Shen Yuan took the men’s alpine skiing championship, runner-up, and third place respectively. At the award ceremony, we spotted many loyal "Showdowners" who have participated in three or more showdowns. They’ve made attending the event a regular winter highlight, allowing them to enjoy the thrill of speed while gathering joyfully with fellow skiing enthusiasts.
