I don't know much about the skiing terms in English.
Could you tell me some usefull ski terms ?

Modern carving on piste means no skid, or slide. Short carved turn is like slalom racing. Long carved turn is like GS racing.
because I'm so inclined .....

Tell you the truth.
Skiing in China is at the begining step.

All though there are many top mountains and peaks over 8000M in China.
Like K2 ,Everest and any others ,but these areas are all in SouthWest and Northwest of China could not be skied i think.
The traffic is not very good,and most of the roads are dangerous and steep,many trauks rolled from thees roads and people died from these accidents each year.
As you know ,most the top moutains locate at the Boundary between Indian ,Nepal , Pakistan and Mongolia.
Also these are some dangers like terrorist in these areas i talked .
But in Northeast of China,where there are many ski resorts i used to ski.
The Yabuli skiing resort hold the 24th Winter Universiade 2009 near the city of Harbin which is called "Eastern Paris".
There is a ski resort named Changbai Mountain in Northeast of China which its condition is little like Alps,its long skiing season could stick to the End of April.


There are also 2 famous resorts near Beijing ,where about 2-3 hours drving from Beijing.

By the way ,welcome to China if you are about to ski here and other business.
