Saw a minor bus accident

 
 

An incredible sight, in the dry hills to the north of Anning District. We actually walked through the construction site a year ago, on an ill-advised short-cut during a long countryside walk. There was a precarious descent to what is now the beginner's slope, and then we had to walk ankle-deep in sand for several hundred metres, dodging huge earth-moving machinery.

Anyway, it opened two weeks ago, although it is still not quite finished. The advanced slope will open next week. 

The instructors were trained in Heilongjiang, in northeast China, which has some long-established ski resorts. And for those with big feet, their boots go up to size 48.
