(230226) -- URUMQI, Feb. 26, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on Jan. 2, 2023 shows that a skier from Urumqi drives to a ski resort in Altay, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. With its high-quality snow conditions, Xinjiang in northwest China has built a number of high-standard ski resorts and become a new hotspot for winter sports. The snow season in Altay, which is located in the northernmost part of Xinjiang, can last up to seven months, making it a heaven for winter sports lovers. At the beginning of the snow season in 2021, Beijing-based skier Peng Chao rented a cabin in the village of Hemu in the Altay Mountain as a work station for his startup team. The team primarily conducts ski equipment testing and popularises knowledge about skiing. As a veteran skier, Peng has dual certifications in skiing and snowboarding, as well as coaching qualifications at various levels. Meanwhile, he continuously participates in skiing safety-related training both domestically and abroad.
