Great skiing for beginners / intermediates with a gondola and several ski lifts working. Still some way to open up more of the mountain to provide longer runs. Very dry snow so after nightly grooming the runs are fantastic but a bit short.
Club Med have just opened up and has excellent accommodation and food.
Very few western folks there and very quiet runs unless on a Sunday but even then it's quiet compared to Australia or Japan.
I would definitely return.

I am an American, working in China. I've skied extensively in Eastern US, mostly at Mad River Glen and Stowe. In the West, Alta and Taos were my choices.
I have been curious about Beidahu for a few years and finally got a chance to go there. Today is December 15, 2013. I was there on the 13th and 14th. This mountain is not big by US standards. But the terrain is decent. I read the review by a skier from Estonia and can agree with him for the most part. He was disappointed.
Getting there from Beijing was quite a chore. It involved a 12 hour overnight train ride. Better seats were sold out, so we settled for the hard beds. A 6 x 6 cubical accommodated two triple deckers with six bunk beds. I got the top bunk that has less than two feet of clearance between the bunk and the ceiling. People below were eating sunflower seeds and oranges, and they threw everything on the floor.
The train destination was Jilin: when we arrived, the temperature was -10 C decrees. The shuttle bus had no heat! The ride was 90 minutes. When we got to the hotel, the lobby was as cold as the outside! Our room never topped 15 degrees.
There are several hotels in the resort. Ours was the Asian Games Village. It is ageing rapidly, but it is also the closest to the lift. The most accurate description I can give this hotel would be shabby. Yes, it's shabby by any measure with stupid mistakes. Example: Our room has twin beds (the beds are ok). For twin bedrooms, there should be a wall lamp over each bed with separate switches. Well, in our room they put both lamps over one bed with no light over the other. Now, that is stupidity!
The chairlift close to the hotel didn't work. They were waiting a spare part from Europe. The gondola worked, but it was going up to areas with thin coverage.
The well covered slope was to the right. That was serviced by a T-bar, But the tT-bar starting point is 300 yards up the hill! It wasn't an easy hike with ski boots. Why didn't they extend the T-bar down closer to the base? The T-bars are spaced too far apart and the speed was slower than a walk in a park. So a ten person line is more than 30 minutes.
Got the picture? What is wrong? Having been here for 11 years, I can point my finger at the management ignorance. They just don't know.
One writer said the food was disgusting. He was right, BUT that only applies to the fast food counter. They served a bowl of rice with Taiwan meat sauce. A better description would be Rice in Dishwater. To be fair, a better meal could be had for around $11US. It's a buffet with more than 15 dishes and five soups. You can eat all you want.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the base lodge is huge and it also has no heat. What amazed me was that the local clients don't seem to mind.
There is a new hotel built to the western standards and has decent western buffet, but it's a pricy place. I wouldn't pay Alps prices for this resort.
Bad news for coffee lovers. There is no place for a cup of joe. I blame this on management ignorance too.

I have just returned back home from China, and spent 4 days at this so called five star ski resort in late March.
From arrogant staff at the reception of the hotel, to poorly run and badly serviced hotel facilities, I would not recommend a stay here to anyone.
i don't know how Chinese people perceive the food served here, but from an European's point of view it is terrible; poor selection and very poor chefs.
I went to see the management one day, was told they were entertaining, but did manage to find the ski lodge manager who was very scruffily dressed and looked as if he had been sleeping. The general manager of the hotel is never available to see anyone according to the reception, he is busy with other duties for the owning group.
Thank you, but never again..

Beidahu is an amazing place for the powder. I went there at April 1st after the big snow in spring, it's the only one ski resort that opened lasted at that time, my friend & I was enjoyed ourselves for the 3 days journey. We also come across the activities which I called it skimming=skiing +swimming pool,haha~ a fantastic game, esp. for drowning in the pool, LOL.
All in all, I love Beidahu, the ski paradise in China.

Can not agree with another reviewer. My experience was very rude staff and management, poor facilities what included food which I consider important for a day of skiing and extremely dirty toilet and ski hall facilities. The manager has since emailed me agreeing that the resort has poor standards and management.
Thank you.

Went there end of the season 2012 had some great sunny days without wind. Had at the first day even fresh powder; quite rare in China's ski resorts. The slopes are great and the intermediate will be satisfied. We stayed at the athletes village, the staff was super friendly. The hotel was kind of already in end of season shutdown mood. Who wants luxury should go in the main season when the 5 star hotel is open.

Hello.
After visiting the ski resort this morning, and being still in what they call the restaurant?? I can honestly say that the negative comments regarding the services and standards at this resort are true!!
I drove nearly 3 hours from Changchun after reading many of the comments on this website as I had to see for myself, as I am a ski enthusiast, visiting China for the first time.
I can honestly say after seeing my friends room in the so called "Asian Village" Hotel, this place is terrible, they do not even offer laundry services to the guests.
The rooms are dirty ... the restaurant food is terrible, at least for Europeans, the bathroom facilities are dirty and smell, the ski hall is filthy and leaking all over, the staff are rude, as well as the so called management, and the ski slopes have barely enough snow to call a ski run.
All in all, I will consider this as a total wastage of US $ 80 including the ski pass, lift pass and meals, and will never come here again. I will also ensure that I never recommend this ski resort to any of my friends at all.
Tony Ellis.

Waste of money is all I can say.
Dirty rooms with smoking burns all over carpet. Restaurant service very bad and food selection also bad. Skiing is only average, Yabuli is far better. Staff have bad attitudes and the reception people and restaurant staff are very rude.
The new hotel which was closed is also not of a good standard with cheep furniture and so so facilities.
It is a big shame that they call this a five star resort when they do not even have an official listing as a five star resort in the jilin chamber of commerce. Why do they tell things that are not true? The ski lodge is a 2 star facility maximum and the other hotel may reach 4 star.
Thank you for letting me submit my comments.
