Skiing has gradually become a challenge that everyone takes on during the winter. Due to the increasing demand from tourists, many places have added the gimmick of artificial snow to attract more visitors. However, there is still a difference between the real and the fake. So how do you ski on pure powder snow?
Today, let’s take Changbai Mountain as an example! As you all know, Changbai Mountain has a unique natural environment and the winter season here starts early and ends late. The powder snow here has become the pursuit of many skiers. The entire Tianchi ski resort is made of natural snow without any artificial snow. The snow is finely powdered and cannot be kneaded into a ball, commonly known as “powder snow”.
What is the biggest advantage of pure powder snow?
It makes a “whoosh” sound when you ski on it, and it splashes like sugar. If you grab a handful and squeeze it tight, it will still be powder when you let go and will easily fall off, leaving no residue on your hands.
What are the supporting facilities at the ski resort?
Snowmobiles, snow groomers and world-class equipment Alpina snowmobile and Prinoth snow groomer
How do you ski on pure powder snow?
The center of gravity when snowboarding on powder snow is opposite to that on the ski resort. For powder snow, the center of gravity is at the back, and the entire board tip is raised. You put your entire body weight on the back to lift the board tip. Because the snow on Changbai Mountain can be deeper than a person, especially in deep snow, it is super difficult to climb up after falling headfirst into the snow. You must take off your board. The board can be flipped over and stuck in the snow, and your body can use the buoyancy to pull yourself out of the snow bit by bit. Then, carefully put on the board again. If you fall down again, it will be very difficult to get up and you will be exhausted. Therefore, it is not recommended for beginners, as you will want to die if you get stuck in the snow.
1. The ski resort provides free boards, shoes and helmets, but you need to go to the ski equipment hall to pay a deposit.
2. Natural powder snow, but it is not particularly picky about the board. It does not have to be a powder board to ski.
3. There is a magic carpet and snow tubing in the amusement park for tourists who have never skied before. Both children and adults who have never skied can start their skiing journey here.
4. Beginner powder snow area: with 1-1.5 meters deep natural powder snow, you can swim in the snow, play, have a snowball fight, and go on a jungle adventure through this area.
5. Changbai Mountain’s white hair wind can make people lose their way. There have been cases of people falling off cliffs and causing avalanches. So, don’t ski around randomly.
It should be noted that: As it is very cold in winter in Changbai Mountain, be sure to wear enough warm clothes!
Pure powder snow is a great challenge. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while skiing and have fun while skiing. It is not so painful to fall.
The 2017 snow season is expected to open on December 2nd and close on April 30th. If the visibility is bad, snowmobiles may not be able to reach the top of the mountain. Pay attention to the weather forecast two days in advance.
