The class was held at the Wanzhou ski resort, and students mastered sliding and braking on flat ground and the use of climbing techniques.

Sports and education authorities in the banner released an announcement about winter sports classes to enhance coaching and guidance and enrich the forms of outdoor physical education so that students can experience the fun of winter sports.

"Our next step is to make use of the weekend and the winter break and gradually provide winter sports classes to all 27 schools in our banner," said Yang Fuxiong, an official with local education authority.
