Beidahu Ski Resort

北大湖滑雪度假区

One of China's top ski resorts, with a main peak drop of nearly 900 meters, numerous runs and excellent powder snow, suitable for skiers of all levels.

Beidahu Ski Resort is located in Yongji County, Jilin City, about 50 kilometers from the city center. Built on Nanlou Mountain and Beidahu, its main peak rises to about 1,400 meters, with a vertical drop of nearly 900 meters, making it one of the largest vertical-drop ski resorts in China. The resort has dozens of runs, multiple high-speed chairlifts and gondolas, and terrain ranging from beginner to expert, including backcountry areas. It hosted the snow sports events of the 2007 Changchun Asian Winter Games and several international FIS competitions, and it is also a training base for the national ski team. The ski season runs from late November to late March, with dry, fine snow; January and February are the best months. At the base there are resort hotels, a ski equipment hall and ski schools, and beginners can book instructors in advance. Lift ticket prices fluctuate considerably on weekends and public holidays, so it is worth buying a package that includes accommodation through official channels in advance. In summer, you can take the cable car up to see the alpine meadows and seas of clouds. A taxi or resort shuttle bus from Jilin City takes about 1 hour.
