Winter sports heat up after heavy snowfall

While heavy snowfall has dropped temperatures and disrupted traffic in northern China over the weekend, ski resorts are enjoying a rush of tourists to enjoy the first ski season after China won the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Zhangjiakou city in north China's Hebei province was covered in a layer of snow as authorities issued alerts for a cold front and icy roads on Sunday.

But it failed to stop fans of winter sports from visiting local ski resorts.
