The three-month winter sports extravaganza will feature over 100 events, including ski mountaineering, alpine skiing, snowboarding, and speed roller skating competitions, as well as activities to promote winter sports in schools and professional training programs.
These events will cover 19 ski resorts and 12 ice rinks across the province, aiming to attract over 6 million participants for skiing, skating, experiential activities, and training, with expected economic benefits exceeding 100 million yuan ($14.3 million), the organizers said.
The annual ice and snow season was launched in 2019 by the Sichuan Provincial Sports Bureau. Official statistics show that the first seven editions cumulatively attracted over 57 million participants.
