It's been many years since I last visited Jingyuetan. This time, I took my child to try skiing during my trip back to China. I bought all the ski suits and protective gear online, and also purchased a three-hour beginner slope pass and a Jingyuetan entrance ticket on Ctrip for only 68 yuan per person—such a bargain! This December is a special offer, it was practically tailor-made for us! 😄 We're back in Changchun for a month, so we can ski as much as we want. There are instructors at the ski resort. Before I even mentioned hiring one, two instructors helped us get the skis, taught my child how to put them on, and helped her ski to the entrance. They were very welcoming. I originally wanted to hire an instructor for my child, but at the entrance, we switched instructors and hired one for 200 yuan an hour, one-on-one. The male instructor was very helpful and even explained the ski techniques and braking techniques to me, haha. Then he slowly led my daughter down the slope, teaching her as he went, while I skied down by myself—or rather, rushed down, and then couldn't stop and flipped over! 🤣 The instructors were definitely helpful. After an hour, my daughter could ski smoothly on her own, and she didn't fall once in three hours! It was really good; the instructor was definitely worth the money. Three hours is enough for a beginner to ski. It was snowing heavily, and my feet got a little cold after wearing ski boots the whole time. My daughter said she wants to learn snowboarding next time. She was quite proud that she learned to ski on both skis on her first try. It was a great experience. Jingyuetan is an established ski resort, but the skis and equipment have all been upgraded, which is nice. The only downside is that the rest area is quite small, there are no separate changing rooms, and the food and drinks are limited. However, we only skied for three hours before leaving, and my daughter just ate a grilled sausage there. The rest area also rents out ski suits and other gear like turtle costumes for 50-100 yuan. If you plan to ski more often, it's more convenient to buy your own full set.
