Your Family's Ski Holiday, Handled Completely.

Our on-site ETEX Travel representative meets your family at the hotel lobby, handles check-in, and gets you oriented. Equipment fitting confirmed for the morning. For those who already ski or snowboard, the evening is yours — head up for a night skiing session under the floodlit slopes, a rare and exhilarating experience. Not on skis yet? Explore the resort town on foot and settle in with a proper Northeast Iron Pot Stew dinner — the warming regional dish that sets the tone for the week.

Morning beginner lesson at the Guosong service centre — magic carpet access, 1:3 coach-to-student ratio, fully focused on getting everyone comfortable on snow. After lunch, take time to wander through the WowCool Snow Village, where ice sculptures, carnival rides, and animal interactions make for a fun break from the slopes. Spend the late afternoon at the indoor Wanda Water Park — slides and pools for all ages, a great way to wind down after a physical day.

Today is a full ski day — no distractions, just mountain time. Put yesterday's lesson to work: take the chairlifts up and start descending the beginner slopes independently. Coaches are on-hand for those who want continued guidance. This is the day confidence is built and the sport starts to click. Cap the evening with a soak at Hannashan Hot Springs — outdoor geothermal pools at −15°C, steam rising around you, a perfect reward for a big day on the mountain.

A full day away from the resort packed with Changbaishan highlights. Start with the snowmobile ride up to Tianchi — the volcanic crater lake frozen solid in winter, framed by 16 snow-capped peaks. From there, head to the Mojie geothermal river for a rafting run through the otherworldly "demon world" rime forest, where mist and frost-covered trees create a scene like nowhere else. Round off the day with dinner in a traditional igloo — the iconic Northeast China hotpot experience, insulated from the cold while steam and warmth fill the space around you. For those with energy to spare, night skiing awaits on your return to the resort.

No rush today — take your time exploring new routes and runs as your skills continue to sharpen. The highlight is lunch at the on-slope restaurant at the summit, with panoramic mountain views and a well-earned hot meal. After lunch, advanced skiers and snowboarders can carve their way back down; beginners and those wanting to take it easy can hop on the cable car for a scenic ride to the base. A relaxed but rewarding day on the mountain.

Time to add some excitement. Explore runs that feature natural rollers, banked turns, and small jumps — a step up from the standard slopes that keeps the mountain feeling fresh. Coaches guide those who want to try their first jumps safely, while more confident riders can start testing their limits on the terrain features. Still primarily a ski day, but one that reminds everyone why this sport is addictive. Farewell dinner together on Commercial Street to close out the slopes.

One last morning run on the slopes before checking out — a final chance to show how far everyone has come since Day 1. Check out and airport transfer to Changbaishan Airport. Fly home with full cameras, sore legs, and plans to come back.

A proper sit-down breakfast at the hotel buffet before a big day on the mountain. Eggs, congee, dumplings, the works — don't skip this. You'll be out in −10°C burning far more energy than a normal day. 8:30–9:30.

Rendezvous with your English-speaking instructor at the ski centre. Boots tightened, helmets on, skis clipped in — a quick 30-minute orientation before the lifts fill up. 9:30–10:00.

The best two hours of the day. Morning snow is freshest and the lifts are least crowded. Whether it's your first time on skis or you're carving your way down the intermediate runs, this is prime mountain time. 10:00–12:00.

Pull off the slopes for a proper sit-down lunch together. Slope-side restaurants serve everything from Chinese noodles to hotpot — warming, filling, and a chance to compare notes on the morning's runs. 12:00–13:00.

The afternoon session is where the progress really shows. Skills from the morning click into place, and confidence builds run by run. Push a little further, try a new route, or just enjoy the rhythm of the mountain. 13:00–15:30.

Skis off. A well-earned wind-down at the resort — warm drinks, a hot soak, or simply back to the room to let the legs recover. The kids usually crash; the adults celebrate with something warm. 15:30–17:00.

Two hours of proper Northeast China dining — Iron Pot Stew, skewers, Igloo Hotpot, or a big group spread on Commercial Street. This is where the group comes together, the stories from the slopes get told, and the kids inevitably fall asleep before dessert. 18:00–20:00.
