After heavy snow, a beautiful sight emerges — a world wrapped in silver, full of winter charm. Look, even Dashushan has become a place for skiing now. On the 19th, many citizens went out to enjoy the snowy scenery, and some outdoor enthusiasts even brought their skateboards and took their kids up Dashushan to ski, creating a delightful scene.
“Early in the morning, many people came up Dashushan to admire the snow and take photos. They were pleasantly surprised to see two children skiing on the northern slope and gathered to take pictures. Hefei’s Dashushan finally offers some wild skiing!” Yesterday evening, a netizen named “Xinsheng Huayu” posted this on Weibo, attracting considerable attention. “Xinsheng Huayu,” a Gemini born in the 1980s, enjoys snowboarding, travel photography, mountaineering, and hiking. As a frequent visitor to Dashushan in Hefei, she knows it very well. With such a rare heavy snowfall, trying out skiing on Dashushan was something she had been looking forward to.
“Xinsheng Huayu” told reporters yesterday evening that the night before, seeing how fierce the blizzard was, she had already made plans with some friends to go skiing on Dashushan. “Hefei finally got a heavy snowfall, and everyone was so excited they couldn’t sleep.” She wrote on Weibo. For this reason, she and her friends decided to take their kids skiing as well, even preparing professional gear like ski boots and boards for the children, while “looking forward to the first snowboard run on Dashushan.” The adults also wanted to let loose in the snow, so they borrowed the kids’ ski boots to wear. Though the sizes didn’t quite fit, it didn’t dampen their spirits.
Sure enough, at 5:30 a.m. yesterday, they set off from home. “We drove carefully all the way and arrived at the foot of Dashushan to find a pure white and tranquil world. We thought we’d be the first to leave deep footprints in this fairytale-like forest. While making our way up the mountain, we were constantly amazed by the stunning scenery, and from time to time we spotted the tracks of small animals in the unblemished snow...” The son of one friend, “Xiaodou,” wrote in his journal last night, “Skiing where few people go makes you feel like a happy little deer darting through the woods. After 7 a.m., when visitors gradually increased, we became a sight for them to photograph.” The adults used a skateboard to create a “wild ski trail” on the winding mountain road of Dashushan. “We just went skiing in Henan’s Funiu Mountains in January. This time, the ‘wild ski trail’ we made ourselves can compare to an intermediate-level run.” However, without any towing or cable systems, going up and down the mountain left them quite exhausted. The sight of adults skiing with their kids quickly caught the attention of other visitors. “Skiing on the winding mountain road of Dashushan this morning, we got a lot of stares,” said “Xinsheng Huayu.”
