China is well known for being a leader in innovation, both technologically and culturally.<\/strong> China is also a massive country, ranking either the third or fourth largest on earth depending on whether one counts water boundaries and the second largest by population. Certain areas of China, such as Wuxi, in east China\u2019s Jiangsu Province, get incredibly hot and humid in the summer. For many of us, dreams of a crisp day on the slopes are still months away. Lucky for the residents of Wuxi, a day spent skiing is a reality all year.<\/p>\n

Bonski<\/a> is an indoor ski resort chain that operates 11 facilities across China, with a planned Australia expansion.<\/strong> The Wuxi<\/a> location offers 188,368 square feet (17,500 square meters)<\/span><\/span> of terrain, with both beginner and intermediate slopes. The intermediate slope has a length of 453 ft (138 m) and an incline of 11 degrees. Temperatures in the facility are a year round 23 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 to -2 Celsius), while temperatures outside can easily soar into the high 90s F (30s C.)

Lai Ping, the ski areas marketing manager, told China.org<\/a> \u201cfamily groups have become the main consumer force this summer, and the demand for escaping extreme heat has grown significantly.<\/strong> When outdoor temperatures remain high, the resort maintains a temperature of minus 6 C [21 F]. The dramatic contrast itself has become part of the attraction.\u201d<\/p>\n
