Winter is coming, and skiers are getting excited again.
It is said that the national leader called on 300 million people to go to the snow and ice, and I am also very excited. Let's talk about those things in the ski resort.
Personally, I think that if we want to promote ice and snow sports, we must first have a deep mass base. Therefore, the essence of 300 million people's deicing is to build a deep mass base and grasp the essence.
Secondly, it is not enough to have a mass base, but also to move towards high-level and professional development.
Snow and ice sports involve a wide range. Now let's talk about one of the topics: ski resorts.
To evaluate a ski resort, at least the following indicators are very important:
Ski trails are undoubtedly the primary index of ski resorts. Because we want to ski, we must have ski trails.
First of all, the number of ski trails is very important. The more snow trails, the higher the playability, the more it can stimulate skiers' interest, the more it can give people the feeling of lingering, and at the same time it can increase skiers' desire to explore. You know, human beings are born with a desire to explore, and the higher this desire is satisfied, the more attractive this ski resort will be. Better ski resorts in China, such as Beidahu and Yabuli, should generally have more than 20 snow trails.
Secondly, the richness of ski trails is also very important. To satisfy skiers of all levels at the same time, you must have ski trails of all levels. The difficulty level of ski resorts is generally marked as primary, intermediate and advanced in China, and generally marked as green, blue, yellow and black abroad. The domestic advanced roads generally take the slope as the standard, and those above 25 degrees are generally advanced roads. Foreign underworld is not only steep, but also dangerous. For example, in some areas of Whistler, there are cliffs on one side and cliffs tens of meters deep on the other. Moreover, they don't restrict any skiers on such a dangerous ski run, but there is a gangster sign. Maybe they think you have the ability to be responsible for your own safety.
Third, the length of the ski run is of course very important. Shenyang, my city, has many ski resorts, most of which are very short, and many of them are even 200-300 meters long. I'm still skating on the veneer, and I'm busy wearing and taking off the board all day. Finally began to slide, and it was finished in three or two laps. It just grazed my boots, which was not enough.
Fourthly, the diversity of ski trails can greatly increase the fun of skiing. As we know, there are all kinds of competitions in the Winter Olympics just for the Snow Mountain project, and of course different snow trails are needed. If a ski resort has all kinds of props, platforms of different sizes, challenging cat jumps and even a few wild snow trails, it will definitely attract a large number of skiers. At that time, the charm of Yabuli's "lightning" wild snow trail can still evoke my good memories. As for the snow in Tianchi, Changbai Mountain, it is even more fascinating.
I believe that for the majority of skiers, the capacity of a ski resort is second only to the snowy road.
Take many ski resorts in Liaoning as negative examples.
There is only one hanging chair ropeway in XXX ski resort, and each chair can only take two people. The running speed is extremely slow and there is a long queue every time. After waiting for a long time, I finally got into the hanging chair and put up with its turtle speed.
The process of skiing every time is basically like this: there is no way but to be at the end of a long queue, and the front is often squeezed in. People are pushing forward bit by bit, and the skis under your feet make you have nowhere to stay. Some novices don't hang up their chairs because they are inexperienced. Seeing the empty hanging chair in such a hurry to climb the mountain, they finally sat in the hanging chair, feeling as slow as an old cow. After more than half an hour, they finally reached the top of the mountain, so they quickly put on their skis. Whoosh It's 10 more seconds, and it's back to the familiar place: long queue!
What's more, there are many ski resorts in Liaoning Province that actually use magic carpets as their main transport capacity! I want to borrow a famous saying from Confucius: "The last straw!"
A good ski resort has a strong transport capacity, and generally there are many ropeways. How many high-speed cars are needed, each car can seat 6 or 8 people, and skis are attached to the car. The process of going up the mountain is also a nap time. You can also organize your own equipment, or organize pictures or videos of your mobile phone or GOPRO. If you are lucky, maybe you can meet some lovely girls in the car to exchange skiing experience and even talk about life. Whenever the bus leaves the station, the feeling of pushing your back will definitely make you excited. After a day of skiing, you will feel that most of the day is spent enjoying skiing or magnificent scenery, instead of wasting time in line or magic carpet like an old cow.
The drop can be understood as the height difference between the highest point and the lowest point of the ski run. At present, skiing can be roughly divided into two categories, one is cross-country skiing and the other is alpine skiing. The so-called alpine skiing means sliding down the mountain by gravity, so there must be a gap. At present, most skiers in China say that skiing is basically alpine skiing.
The greater the gap between a ski resort, it can at least show that this ski resort is excellent in the following aspects:
It must be a big ski resort. There are many ski resorts in general, and the facilities are relatively good, which is well worth visiting.
Ski trails must be very long. Because the slope of the ski resort is generally within a certain range, generally 10 to 35 degrees, the greater the drop, the longer the ski resort;
The natural environment is spectacular. The bigger the gap, it means that the location of this ski resort is likely to be among famous mountains, such as the Loki Mountains or the Alps, and the natural scenery is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary small ski resorts.
Playability and entertainment are better. The bigger the gap, when you roar down from the mountain, you will find that the scenery and environment you experience are more colorful, such as towering and steep snow-capped mountains, virgin forests, or passing through clouds;
When winter comes, people who like skiing can't wait to go skiing at once. Your eagerness is understandable, but you must have the conditions for skiing.
According to my experience, in most cases, the first condition that can determine our skiing is low enough temperature!
Take Liaoning as an example. After careful calculation, it is estimated that there are more than 30 ski resorts in Liaoning Province. In early winter, for skiing, the snowfall is basically negligible.
So when can the ski resort open? Let's go skiing early. Basically rely on Fu Na!
The precondition of Fu Na is that the temperature is low enough, otherwise it won't snow!
In addition, if the temperature is low enough, to make enough snow to cover the ski resort as soon as possible, it is necessary to build as many snow machines as possible at the same time, but this will increase the cost.
In this way, it is necessary to test the ski resort. Will you spend more money to increase the cost and buy more snow machines to make the skiers go smoothly as soon as possible?
In fact, the practice of most ski resorts is to make only a little snow, and start selling tickets by paving a few hundred meters or dozens of meters of snow trails at most. The operating snow trail is only a primary or intermediate snow trail, which only accounts for a small part of the total snow trail, and there is no hanging chair car at all, only a slow magic carpet, and there is a long queue.
Theoretically speaking, such a mode of operation is no different from selling short of weight. Seriously speaking, it is immoral to be obviously suspected of cheating, violating conscience and hurting consumers. Personally, it is reasonable that the fare should match the percentage of the length of the operating ski trail to the total length of the ski resort announced to the public.
Speaking of the word snowfall, it feels far away to me. To tell the truth, I have been skiing for seventeen years, and I have skied many ski resorts. There are no more than ten ski resorts that can really appreciate the weight of the word snowfall.
We sometimes see skiers sliding down from high snow-capped mountains in skiing videos or advertisements, and the snow powder raised by skis stimulates our vision very much. Only in this way can ski resorts talk about the word snowfall.
Personally, I think all the ski resorts I have been to can feel the snowfall, including the following ski resorts:
Jilin Province: Beida Lake, Wanda, Tianchi Snow and Songhua Lake;
Heilongjiang Province: Yabuli;
Hebei province: Bandung;
Canada: Cypress, Whistler, Lake Louis;
Service Hall: Is it spacious? Make it convenient for skiers? Is it fast to handle the ticket? Are the facilities fully equipped?
Accommodation: Are there any hotels of various levels? Is it near the ski resort? Are the hotel facilities convenient for skiers? Is it neat? Is the price reasonable?
Catering: Is it clean and hygienic? Is the food rich and delicious? What is nutrition collocation? Is it possible to provide meals for enough people? Is the price reasonable?
Parking lot: Is there enough parking space? Is management in place? Is it close to the ski resort, so you don't have to travel long distances with a lot of equipment?
The above is just my personal opinion. For ski resorts, different people must have different views more or less. Experience can't all be the same.
I have been skiing for seventeen years. The following is a list of ski resorts I have been to, some with photos and some without. Ranked in no particular order.
Liaoning Province: Qipanshan in Shenyang, Hejiagou in Yingkou, Dongfeng Lake in Benxi, Tongquan in Benxi, Guaipo in Shenyang, Baiqingzhai in Shenyang, Qianshan in Anshan, Gongchangling in Liaoyang, Northeast Asia in Shenyang, Yunshan in Benxi and Tianqiao Ditch in Dandong.
