STORYLINE:
Beijing's ski season got off to an early start this December, even before much snow had fallen on the Chinese capital.
At the far outskirts of the city, some two hours drive to the northeastern Huairou district, a new ski resort has opened.
Overlooked by the Great Wall and nestled among the mountainous terrain of Huaibei County, visitors were welcomed with the usual loud and colourful ceremony that comes with the opening of a new business.
Machines provide the artificial snow used to line the pistes in Huaibei International Ski Resort.
Beijing already has a handful of ski resorts built on the wave of the sport's increasing popularity.
The new resort hopes to attract around two thousand visitors a day, it's lined up three thousand sets of skis and ski boots for hire.
In the past, winter sports in Beijing amounted to no more than ice skating over frozen lakes and rivers.
Now skiing and snowboarding have been added to the list of recreational pastimes.
The brown hills that surround this new resort offer a glimpse of how difficult it must have been to create and maintain the snowy track.
But the mobile phone-carrying middle-class Beijingers who make up the majority that make the journey, keen to test their skills on the gentle slopes, justify the investment.
For many it's a case of easier said than done but a team of instructors are on hand to offer help.
Using the tricky button lifts could require a set of skills of its own. Fun is the operative word here. Huaibei International Ski Resort may sound impressive, but for visitors like Mr Chen, it doesn't quite live up to standards found in more established destinations abroad.
The hard snow may make some novice skiers nervous at their first attempt, but a day here is definitely a welcome break from the Beijing bustle.
The resort plans to hold skiing competitions and build a twenty thousand square meter ice rink.

Beijing Ski Trip2018/19(Wanlong Ski Resort),filmed and edited by a 12 years old kid, with OsmoPocket
Hello, Fans! Here it is! The Beijing Ski Trip Travel Video! During this trip, I went to Chongli, a town 240km north of Beijing, and will be holding the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Short Intro:
Wanlong Ski Resort is a ski resort located in Chongli, 240km north of Beijing, and will be part of the 2022 Winter Olympics. In the area, there is also Yun Ding Ski Resort, Fu Long Ski Resort, Tai Wu Ski Resort, Chang-Cheng Ling Ski Resort..... (Around 10). However, Wanlong Ski Resort wins in terms of slopes and snow quality as it is the first to be built and they chose the best geographical location. Normally, Chongli's weather is around -3 degrees at noon and -14 degrees at night (Just estimating here), but this time, it is -17 degrees at noon and -30 degrees at night (SERIOUSLY!!!) Under this temperature, phones and cameras can fail continuously. However, the DJI Spark, Osmo Pocket, my phone and Yi4k+all held up and allowed me to film these amazing memories. (NOT SPONSERED!)
Kit Used:
-Osmo Pocket
-Yi4k+
-Yi4k
-DJI Spark
-Phone: Mi Phone 8
-Backpack: Lowepro Photo 'Hatchback'.

Wanlong Ski Resort is the Best! 2018 Beijing Ski Trip, Day 1 Vlog || Spoiler Alert: No skiing today!
***By Do not expect too much, I meant there is no gigantic shopping mall, natural hot spa, tons of food options, etc. But instead, it is a place where you can really focus on skiing! You get up from a hotel that costs around $50US a night and 100 meters away from the ski resort, eat breakfast, and start skiing! Straightforward! Furthermore, finding a good coach will not be as costly as in Japan. It was previously $80 US per day! Even now that Chongli has become more and more famous, it only costs around $180 for a good coach from the ski resort!
Hi everyone! This happened on the 24th of December, 2018! It is day one of our trip! Today is travel only! Warning: No skiing involved in this video! Wait for the next one!
This Christmas, I am going to Wanlong Ski Resort, located 240 kilometres north of Beijing. This is my seventh time going to Wanlong Ski Resort and my eighth time skiing in resorts around Beijing. I have come here since I was 6! Wanlong Ski Resort is famous for its amount of challenging advanced trails, (Around 25 out of around 35 slopes!) Furthermore, its budget cost makes it my first choice for skiing.
I have also been to Yun Ding Ski Resort and Nam Shan Ski Resort, but I personally prefer Wanlong Ski Resort more. Watch all episodes to see the reasons of me preferring WISKI more than other resorts. Up till now, I have recommended more than 11 friends to WISKI and the feedback I got is positive. Unfortunately, I have not been to many ski resorts in other countries like Japan and Korea. I hope to go to more resorts in order to truly become a non-bias 'salesmen' of WISKI.
