Snapshot
Last reviewed: 2026-06-05
Identity
Official/government sources support the Haiyinsai naming, while older and travel-platform sources still use Nalati International Ski Resort.
Terrain
Run count (14), run mix (4/6/4), vertical (582m), and longest run (5200m) are supported by government reporting.
Elevation
Summit (2200m) is estimated from regional topographic context.
Stats
Area, lit-run count, and lift inventory vary slightly by source date, likely due to phased development.
Access
Airport distance (3 km) and county distance (8 km) confirmed in government material.
Conditions
No strong official weather archive, webcam, or snow-history source was confirmed.
Infrastructure
Base-building facilities are repeatedly described in government and travel-platform sources.
Guiding
Ski teaching is verified at a basic level with professional coach recruitment mentioned.
Accommodation
Named nearby lodging and hot-spring properties are publicly listed with room counts.
Rental
Rental exists and inventory expansion (500 skis, 200 snowboards) is publicly reported.
Activities
Hot springs, children's facilities, tubing, and village entertainment are publicly referenced across multiple sources. Schedules vary seasonally.
Nightlife
Evening activity framing is inferred from night skiing, hot springs, and village entertainment rather than from dedicated nightlife coverage.
Review
Assessment is based on source synthesis rather than on-the-ground rider validation.
