If you don’t want to make the full trip up the mountain then dry slope skiing is the answer. Located about ten minute drive from Incubation Park metro station (taxi should cost about 11-15 RMB, though it may be more during peak times). The English of the staff is not great which can make the process of getting skis fitted a little longer but once you get onto the slope you will soon forget all about it. Usually, the slope is quiet, with only a few others sharing it at a time. They also offer classes if you are looking to improve your skiing. This makes Chengdu American Sports Park Dry Slope one of the best adventure and outdoor activities in Chengdu for quick, fun, and convenient skiing.
