Emeishan ski resort
Emeishan is not a ski resort in any conventional sense. With just 0.2 km of piste, a 15 m vertical drop, and two lifts serving a 16 m elevation band, this is a novelty snow-sports venue rather than a destination for actual skiing. At CNY 400 for a day pass, you are paying premium money for what amounts to a token slope experience on a sacred mountain in Sichuan. The good news: the base elevation of 2379 m and a season running November to March mean snow reliability is respectable for the region.
This suits only the most curious travellers who want to say they skied in China, or families seeking a brief snow-play experience on a pilgrimage to Mount Emei. Serious skiers should look elsewhere - there is no terrain to speak of, no off-piste opportunity (rated 1/5), and the cost-to-vertical ratio is punishing. The two lifts will create bottlenecks even on quiet days. If you are visiting Emeishan for its temples and scenery, a quick snow-slide might amuse, but do not plan a ski trip around this.
