It doesnt seem that strange to me when you consider the size of China. Its kinda massive! Well china stretches into the Himalaya (couldnt be bothered checking spelling) through what was once tibet. Hmmm I wonder too if any snowhead has been as far afield as China to ski.

That doesn't look so good! Do you not think they have resorts where they actually have real snow? surely China has snow somewhere...

There are ski areas in China & it is rapidly expanding its areas. Here a good list of resorts check out the extended list (Quite a few )!!
I did hear from someone I know who has been sking there that there is restricted access to slopes & lift because of the numbers of skiers on the slopes.

I did a brief bit of reseatch a few years back when planning an, aborted, trip to china. The reports didn't suggest anything to write home about but were all based on the pistes available rather than off-piste.
From memory, the ski areas were in the north-east rather than down towards what "was once" Tibet.

Oh yeah, I suppose there is some fantastic heli-skiing/boarding to be had.

China certainly has it's share of snowy mountains, so even if the skiing is not so good right now, my guess is that there will probably be some pretty decent resorts in the near future if China's economy continues it's rapid growth.
