Beishan Ski Field provides a local skiing option for Baishan and the surrounding region during the winter months. The resort is modest in scale compared to the major ski destinations at Beidahu near Jilin City, but it serves the city's winter visitors who don't want to travel further. The mountain terrain around Baishan receives reliable snowfall from November through March, and the cold here — the area sits in a mountain valley at elevation — is genuine rather than marginal.
For visitors already in Baishan for the other winter activities — the long frozen seasons, the border river in ice — the ski field adds a day's activity without major logistical effort.
