I saw the smoke, quite impressive, it seemed like a forest /brush fire by the colour of the smoke.
Do residential building fires happen in China ? What building could burn?
Hi Colin, I was hoping I would get you in this post.
Ok, great info about Kashmir and the Gulmarg Resort being the place to go; this could be a possible future destination for the club. Pow-pow-der sounds great.
Is the terrain challenging? some steep stuff? open terrain?
This could also be a destination for paragliding.
I agree with Colin on Yunnan back country exploration/skiing; it's closer to KM, nature inspired and cheaper than air fare and hotels.
Is the back mountain (north face)of tiger leaping gorge possible to ski?? I read about this slope in the magazine "Yunnan".
I need to go to Canada this summer or fall for a few weeks and I'll bring my skis and gear to KM.... I might as well use it here cuz it's going to rot over there in storage.
Hey legriffon. JP .
Boards are cheap in Canada spring time, used or new, maybe I can bring one with boots ...
Check the price here in China and we can compare with transport and canadian price to see if it's worth it to bring from Canada..
Ahmet...
Good info about Yabuli, temperature is like Quebec city where I ski, -1000oC!!
What is the terrain like ? groomed/beginner/intermediate?
Open terrain with steep sections?
A true local Kunming phrase for someone acting crazy....
"What kind of mushrooms have you been eating?"
After 3 years of snow hiatus I now have the urge to carve a few turns in snow or ice.
Where are the ski resorts?
How many of you would be interested in a ski club for various levels?
I would like to organize ski trips, I'm planing long term....next year..
Yeah!!!
No results found.
Overall good selection for creating basic "heavy / thick / bulky" furniture.
Clean, quiet, everything I needed, good location, well priced.
Went the other night, it was very late therefore I cant coment on the food but it did smell very good..
Cozy atmosphere and very friendly host.
Will return again now that it's found!
Icing on the cake for Kunming as a concept!

Posted byAstonishing how the tall, mature pine trees were abundant in NW Yunnan a century ago.
Presently,on the west flank of Jade Dragon mountain we can still see remnants of these old growth forests which were chopped down, dragged downhill to the Yangtze and floated downriver...

It's a company which lies, deceives and blatantly does not accept any responsibility to it's customers, just like in 60 70 80's china...it's a china gov owned company, but now they try to do the same tricks on an international business route.
