Shanghai L+SNOW indoor skiing resort earns five FIS certifications

To celebrate the upcoming Year of the Horse, the resort unveiled its first horse themed ice sculpture, crafted from 1,300 blocks of ice weighing a total of 100 tons, and illuminated as a magical ice lantern. The resort will also feature performances of the traditional Yingge Dance by foreign actors, Xinjiang Altay cuisine, and a polar penguin parade. Visitor numbers during the Spring Festival holiday are expected to increase by 20 percent year-on-year, Wang said.

Since its opening in September 2024, the resort has seen a steadily improving customer base, with over 85 percent being local Shanghai residents. The number of visitors from outside Chinese mainland has tripled year-on-year, accounting for nearly 8 percent of total visitors.

According to Wang, the resort will remain open until 6 pm on New Year's Eve, balancing the needs of visitors and staff reunion.
