I think I’ll need to spend some time at altitude before I try to ski a summit. But that’s what I’d like to do.
The first step should probably be to hike up Dagunianshan (lowest of the 4 sisters/ladies).
Other than that I’m willing to ski anything snow patch I can find. Anybody else here have an avalanche beacon?
There’s some granite in that neighborhood too, so I’m looking for a trad partner.
As far as in-bound skiing, I don’t really know. I heard a rumor a couple years ago that they are building a big ski area in the Tianshan, but I have no other info. That’s supposed to be the best snow in China.
There are a bunch are Beijing, but I think they make a lot of snow because it’s so dry there.
Xiling snow mountain is on my to-do list of course. Anybody got a snow report?
