China Syndrome: Prof Says Its Ski Hills Are Over 20 Years Old
By October 03, 2005
In IR 9/5/05 we referred to a USA Today article mentioning Lu Jian as the man who in 1995 developed the first ski resort in that country." Prof. Curtis W. Bender, who teaches Ski Area Operations at Colorado Mountain College, writes:
"I had the pleasure of going to China with Bob Parker, retired VP of Vail, in the spring of 1986. We were with a delegation of ski industry experts trying to assist the Chinese government in development of modern skiing facilities.
"When we visited, we were taken to two developed ski facilities, one near Harbin (Qing Yun) and one near Jilin (Songhua). Both ski areas, though primitive by our standards, were operating resorts with lifts, ski rentals, and lodging facilities. By my estimate, both areas had been operational for between five and ten years when we arrived."
