Snow & weather
Getting there
Fly into Ürümqi (URC), and our luxury chartered transfer will take you to Keke Tuo Hai — look for the Monster Tours sign at arrivals.
Pack layers for −20°C mornings. Xinjiang domestic flights have tight baggage limits — confirm your board-bag allowance before you fly.
Please reserve a night's accommodation in Urumqi, either near the airport or in the city centre. Also, please ensure that your return flight departs on Sunday, as we will be arriving in Urumqi late.
Common questions
Are skiers welcome?
Yes. Skiers are welcome on every tour, and Rey is a dedicated full-time ski host living in Japan for the riders who prefer two planks.
What levels are catered for?
From never-ever beginners (with integrated simulator-to-slope lessons at Snow Monster) through to expert backcountry riders. Each week is set up for specific levels — check the tour title.
How big are the groups?
Small and intimate — a maximum of 20 guests per week with a 1:5 host ratio, so you actually get to explore our home mountain the way we do.
