It's so cool to stay at a ski-in ski-out hotel! 🏠Hotel: Snow Cube (a high-end boutique hotel under TOPSKI) 📍Location: 2,400 meters above sea level in Keketuohai International Ski Resort 🏂Ski-in ski-out The hotel is located right next to the yellow ski trail, which is a great location. You can get on the ski trail and start skiing in just 1 minute! You can put your skis directly in the snow pile at the door, and ski the first run of powder snow in the morning before the cable car opens. You can ski to the third floor of the 2,200-meter ski equipment hall to enjoy a buffet breakfast. You can return to your room to rest at any time when you are tired of skiing. If you don't want to ski down, you can call the butler at any time to get a free shuttle to and from the ski equipment hall. 🛏️Room Snow Cube only has 8 independent small houses, which are quiet and secluded in the snow-capped mountains, with great privacy and comfort. Before checking in, I thought the 28-square-meter house would be very small, but it was really well-equipped! It is also the largest room type in the mountain hotel. I brought a month's worth of ski equipment and stored it all neatly. The hotel rooms are fully equipped with Wi-Fi, washing machines, electric heated toilets, air purifiers, high-end humidifiers, duvets, etc. The most important thing is that there is floor heating, which is very friendly for skiers to dry clothes. There is a large floor-to-ceiling window in the room, where you can see the snow scene of Keketuohai and the amazing sunset when the sun goes down. 🌄Hotel view The hotel faces the sunset, so you can see different colors of sunset every day! The orange sky and blue-pink gradient sunset are reflected in the hotel's glass windows, which are absolutely beautiful. You can take great photos easily. You can also lie in the snow and watch the sunset to take super relaxing and atmospheric photos. 🍚Dining Many people think that it is inconvenient to eat and drink on the mountain, but there is a Hunan restaurant called "Luotian Keke" next to Snow Cube, where you can order food. The Starbucks outside the door is also about to open. For breakfast, you can report your room number on the third floor of the ski equipment hall to enjoy the buffet. The dining time is from 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning. You can enjoy fried rice, fried noodles, fried vegetables, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, corn, fried eggs, pancakes, milk, soy milk, coffee, etc. 👳Butler service After checking in, the butler will create a group chat. If you need to add or change supplies, the butler will come to help immediately. The floor will be mopped and vacuumed every day, keeping the room clean. You can also call for a shuttle to and from the mountain at any time. If you arrive late due to transportation reasons, there will be staff waiting at the hotel in the middle of the night, which is very considerate.

#skiseason The significance of live pictures is that I want to play wild skiing! The snow season that I've been looking forward to all summer has finally arrived. When I heard that Keketuohai has started snowboarding, skiers couldn't help but set off now! I love Keketuohai too much. It's not just the beautiful scenery, but October is obviously not the time to ski too happily. I recorded this happy moment with live. The altitude of the ski resort in Xinjiang is high, and the weather changes on the mountaintop are very important. In the morning, it's cloudy with heavy snow, but in the afternoon, the sky is clear for thousands of miles. When choosing snow clothing, I am very particular. Not only do I need to have good looks, but I also need to have a complete set of new NikeACG snow clothing that I wear today. The color value of the new snow clothing is very high, and I can easily take a picture. At the ski resort, two friends praised my snow clothing for being handsome. After watching it, I quickly came to the world. At the same time, I can prevent bad snow weather. When living in wind and snow, or in deep pink snow, you don't have to worry about getting into the snow at all. You can always maintain comfort, and the smoother and faster you slide, the more enjoyable it is haha. When the sun comes out in the afternoon, the temperature will rise, and opening the zipper under my armpit allows me to breathe at any time. A set of equipment meets my needs for the whole day, allowing me to enjoy the fun of skiing with all my heart. The wilderness is not wilderness, the real wilderness is people. "Challenge yourself by running wild in the snow and feel the charm of nature!! The performance of the industry. I will join ACG Wild Gate

Precautions for skiing [Note 1] Before skiing, you should carefully check whether the skis and ski poles are broken and whether the bindings are firmly connected to prevent injuries caused by equipment falling off during activities. [Note 2] Do not cross the boundaries of the ski resort wantonly. At the same time, you must understand the conditions of the ski trails and carefully understand the height, width, length, slope, and direction of the ski trails. Beginners must practice on a flat site with a short distance and a small slope, and then Then gradually increase the difficulty [Note 3] When placing the snowboard, remember to place it upside down with the binding side facing down to prevent the snowboard from accidentally slipping and injuring others.

[Note 8] Do not touch iron objects with bare hands. Do not touch iron objects with bare hands outdoors to prevent frostbite on your hands.

I spent an unforgettable skiing trip at Koktokay, totaling three days. During this time, I conquered several skiing spots including the Gem Trail, Little Forest, Drainage Channel, U-shaped Trail, and Little White Slope, each offering me the ultimate skiing experience. Transportation and Location I set off from Altay, driving to the Koktokay Ski Resort. Departing at 8 am, I arrived at my destination after 1 pm. Due to the heavy snowfall in the area, I strongly recommend renting a four-wheel drive with snow tires. The Tank 300 four-wheel drive I chose performed exceptionally well, accommodating two female passengers in the back row even with four people plus equipment and one seat folded down. Additionally, the Great Wall series of vehicles also have excellent loading capacity. Accommodation Recommendation In Koktokay town, I chose to stay at the Snowfield Koktokay Hotel. The price is affordable, only 200 yuan per night. The hotel is conveniently located near transportation, with a shuttle bus to and from the ski resort that is very convenient, costing a total of 50 yuan, and the one-way trip takes about 40 minutes. Gastronomic Journey Aside from skiing, I also tasted the local cuisine. There are several restaurants on the second floor of the ski equipment hall next to the 2500-meter cable car. Although I never had a full meal at the ski resort, I would have an energy drink every noon to replenish my strength. When hungry, I would try a corn cob or grilled sausage near the cable car. After the day's skiing, I would go to the local restaurants near the hotel to taste the local cuisine. There are many restaurants with a rich variety of dishes, especially the iron pot stew series. The Charm of the Ski Resort Koktokay Ski Resort has three cable car points, located at 1900 meters, 2500 meters, and the 3100-meter parking lot and bus stop at 1900 meters. The red cable car, which I took most often, reaches the highest point at 3100 meters with two transfers. From there, I would challenge the 6-kilometer-long ski run. The beauty of Koktokay is intoxicating, surrounded by rolling snow-capped mountains, with gentle slopes and spaciousness.
