Beijing has sufficient natural snowfall to ensure that skiing events in the mountainous venues proposed in the city's 2022 Winter Olympics bid can go off without a hitch, meteorologists have said.
Any boost in water consumption resulting from hosting the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics would not affect supplies to homes and businesses in Yanqing county, according to the Beijing authorities.
The long ski season and the climate of Chongli county in Zhangjiakou is ideal for high-quality, man-made pistes, has attracted a growing number of international skiers.
Snow won't be a problem for Beijing and co-bidder Zhangjiakou if they are awarded the right to host the 2022 Winter Games, says a bid official.
Although not yet a world powerhouse in winter sports, China has achieved major breakthroughs in major competitions on ice and snow, and aims to develop more balanced strengths in winter sports with a promising group of young athletes.
The host city of the 2022 Winter Olympics will be decided at the 128th International Olympic Committee session in Kuala Lumpur on Friday.
The Beijing 2022 bid committee remains confident that its plan to host the Winter Olympics in three zones will benefit post-event venue use while promoting winter sports in a larger area.
