Some basic Tips
Run/trail color coding – The difficulty level of the slopes are coded according color with green slopes representing the easiest runs, then blue, with red and blacks representing the most difficult. Ski with care and choose the right grade to start.
Dress Code - Stay warm! It is best to check the weather forecast every morning before you get dressed and ski.
Be sure to wear proper eye protection while skiing. Use sunglasses for sunny conditions and goggles for the cloudy or snowy days.
Have a thermal layer next to your skin instead of a cotton under layer to prevent your body from getting wet.
One pair of socks is enough- more will actually make your feet colder!
Make sure your outside layer is waterproof.
...
Protect your skin from the sun, wind and cold!
Insurance - accidents can happen. Make you sure you get travel insurance that covers winter sports related accidents. U China Travel provides travel insurance for each client, but still recommends that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical cost once you return to your home country.
Tips for the Yabuli Ski Resorts
The winter ski season starts in November and typically lasts until April depending on snow conditions. It is also a great getaway for fishing, hiking, swimming, grass-gliding and golf during summer from June to September.
