Hey folks,

As we seem to keep getting snow, one thing that's come to mind (to have something to do for a week during Spring Festival, as some of us don't have families here to celebrate with) is some snow sports like skiing and/or snowboarding.

Can anyone recommend a good place to run amok (within reason)? 

So far I've heard of ski slopes somewhere near-by, and/or hills near Anhui Uni, but was wondering what the collective brains trust of HefeiExpat might know.

Da Sh Shan, down the road.  , over the curb, slalom the trees and broadside at the bottom.

Just need more snow.

Just need more snow.

And the gear. 

Just thought I'd get some recommendations for next year's Spring Festival, as I left it too late this time around.

There are probably no ski resorts in Anhui.  http://www.chinatravel.com/focus/china-ski-resorts/

It depends on what you would rather do. If you have friends that are skiing, then go skiing. But if you have friends who are snowboarding, do that.

I do both, and must say that skiing is easier to learn. I started skiing 10 years ago, and has only been skiing about 3 times since. I started snowboarding and just loved that, then started teaching it. Now I am trying to get back into skiing so I can teach better on skis. I skied 3 times this year, at my local slopes. I picked it back up and am learning other things out there.
