Ski mountaineering is an outdoor sport that demands high-level skills in both skiing and climbing. It combines the thrill of two extreme sports—skiing and mountaineering—and is already widely popular in Europe and America. In China, it is also attracting a growing number of enthusiasts. Since 2011, when the Chinese Mountaineering Association and the Qinghai Provincial Sports Bureau first successfully organized ski mountaineering activities here, the General Administration of Sport of China has recognized Gangshika Snow Mountain in Qinghai...as one of the best training grounds for alpine skiing in China, and it holds even greater potential to establish this site as a top-tier ski mountaineering destination in Asia and even the world.
