Chinese Ski Areas Open Early

Heavy snow in China at the start of this month has led to resorts around capital Beijing and in the country's main ski region in the North East of the country opening about a month ahead of their expected opening dates in December.

The country's best known resort of Yabuli opened beginner terrain last week and other ski areas in the region plan to open in the next few days. Wanlong resort is also open and in contrast has opened terrain at the top of the mountain.
