I brought two kids to ski, using skis. Since I'm not very good at skiing myself, I hired two instructors. In the morning, we had a beginner's class to learn the basics, and I learned along with the kids. After two hours, we learned basic standing, getting on and off the skis, and the snowplow braking.
The instructors were good, and the kids enjoyed it. In the afternoon, we wanted to continue, so we upgraded to intermediate. We recharged our membership cards and hired two more instructors. They took us on the intermediate slopes, where there were fewer people, making the skiing experience better. They also gave us in-depth instruction on the snowplow turn and parallel turn. These really require personal experience to master. Overall, the intermediate level is more challenging than the beginner level, but also more exciting and fun.
The ski resort is quite professional in its operation and management. The process is simple: buy a membership card, swipe it to collect your boots and skis, and you can store your boots and luggage for 30 yuan. Instructors line up when you collect your equipment; if you need one, just sign up, and an instructor will help you with everything. If you have kids and can't supervise them all by yourself, I highly recommend signing up. Beginner 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 classes cost 400 yuan for two hours. The instructors will encourage you to ski as many times as possible within the allotted time; you can't go wrong with their advice. Return to the lobby to return your ski equipment and swipe your card when it's almost time to leave.
I spent the whole day skiing with my child. The cable car closes at 4 PM, and the magic carpet stops at 4:40 PM. If you're bringing children and need an instructor, arrive early, as instructors are in high demand in the afternoon.
