Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Skiing, snow, and the frost phenomenon of NE China

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Skiing is in its infancy in China, but the scene is growing. And, of course, there are many other reasons to visit the country.

This article from China Daily makes brief references to skiing, but focuses on the beauty of Jilin Province "in rime", "considered to be one of the four Great Natural Wonders of China."

This is an atmospheric phenomenon, described as follows:
Quote:
The Songhua River, flowing through the city of Jilin, does not freeze in the severe cold, so the pines and willows along its banks are lined with fine luminescent water, a beautiful scene of ice lustres like crystal jade.

The natural spectacle is usually found between November and January, the only time the condensed moisture can convert to water before freezing, with amorphous frost and glaze. Frost flowers form when moisture within the stem of a plant freezes.

The propagation of ice crystals in still air can certainly be dramatic. In the Austrian ski resort of Leogang I once saw fields of huge 'frost flowers'. Absolutely stunning.

I don't know how, they have built their ski resorts in drought areas.

it looks like China may have found a water source for those snow canons

see, ive got to spend a month in china for work this january. im really tempted to go check out the slopes somewhere, but im going to be in the south and i think all the slopes are rather a long journey away. maybe if i get bored. the other option is to jump on a plane and go to japan. i'll keep you all informed!
