@Wazza sorry if this is too late for your planning.
it’s very easy, and cheap (less than 100RMB), to get to Xiling snow mountain on the public bus. from JinSha Bus Station.
Yes the agency are having a little fun with you I think.
The last time I went there was only one run (and a magic carpet nursery slope), it’s straight, wide, and maybe 1km long, in the west it’s would be the easiest grade I think. Unless you’re very new to skiing you might be bored after a couple of hours.
I’d be interested to hear if anyone’s see any new runs there.
If you’re still planing let me know, I can give you some more details.
