Snow City
A hangar-sized deep freeze chilled to a numbing -5°C, Snow City features a slope three-storeys high and 70m long, accessed via a silvery Star Trek–style airlock. Each session gives you an hour to throw yourself at high speed down the slope on a black inner tube and throw snowballs. Two-hour ski and snowboarding lessons are available in the evenings for $55 from Snow Line, located in the same building as Snow City. Snow Line also rents jackets and other equipment.

Qiaobo Ice & Snow World
The only indoor ski slopes in Běijīng can be found here. The two slopes are not long and experienced skiers will not be excited by them, but it’s a good place to head to when the summer heat gets too much.
