Mail for help.Help!!

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 :-)

China's indoor snow palaces: take your choice of three

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Snowdome lovers have a choice of three venues in China - so they're level-pegging with the UK. The difference is that the sport is only a few years old in China, but is busy riding the booming economy and its leisure-hungry consumers.

Alex Ortolani, reporting for Christian Science Monitor, looks at the facilities on offer at Shenzhen (an hour from Hong Kong), Yinqixing (Shanghai) and Qiaobo (Beijing).
Quote:
Here in Shenzhen, an hour train ride from downtown Hong Kong, you can hit the slopes at Window of the World's Alps Indoor Ski Dome. One hour on the 262-foot-long slope includes skis, boots, jacket, and snow pants for $10. Lessons are available from patient locals, as are scream-inducing sled runs on inner tubes.

On weekdays the "ski resort" usually isn't crowded, but on weekends groups of Hong Kongers are there practicing their turns.

Any further reports on Chinese indoor skiing welcome!
