The center was built in 2016. Around 40 people can be trained at once during peak times, said Niu Zhanhe, a coach.

Niu said Ergune has advantages in the development of snow-kiting — mainly its extreme cold weather. For six months a year it has plenty of snow. Its geographical landscape is a natural resort, he added.
