China Ski Info wrote:

Yabuli Ski Resort
Heliongjiang Province
China’s Premier Ski Resort
170 day average snow coverage Still has limited facilities
compared to western ski areas ( www.YabuliSkiResort.com )

Beidahu Ski Resort
(North Grand Lake Ski Resort) China’s No. 3 ski Resort
Close to airport – 56 km to Jilin but no quality hotels nearby and insufficient facilities

Jingyuetan Ski Resort China’s No. 2 ski area
Located close to Changchun major urban area, capital of Jilin Province The snow is not as good as Yabuli – short season

Changban Mountain Ski Resort Major training base of Chinese National Team near Yanjin City
On the plus side it has hot springs in area but little infrastructure to allow for full enjoyment.

Songhua Lake Ski Resort Close to Jilin City
Good Scenery Temperature higher than Yabuli – Short season

Saibei Ski Resort Full Service Facility 260 Kms from Beijing
Less Snow Coverage

Saihanba Ski Resort Well-know tourist attractions nearby 340 Kms from Beijing, Snow conditions are fair.

Yulong Snow Mountain
Ski Resort Only Ski Resort in Yunnan Province
Soon will have Int’l Airport Under Construction

Great Wall Ski Area Near Beijing Little to no natural snow
Short runs – under construction

I have seen a few resorts near Harbin, but being not a winter sports man myself, did not check them out in detail.

Just be careful riding the cable cars / gondolas... think: maintenance schedules, diligence and cost vs. profit here.

I went to Yabuli near Harbin back in 2003. It was a bit lame compared to European standards but OK for a few days fun. Harbin in winter is cool . . . or should I say f***ing freezin'
