The pavement site of the "International Cross-Country Skiing Competition" to be held at the Salqobu cross-country skiing resort in Altay City, Xinjiang.

  On May 8, on-site snow trucks and large mechanical vehicles shuttled back and forth to flatten the 6-meter-wide snow trail.

  As the season changes and the temperature rises, it brings great difficulties to the snow paving work. The organizer specially invited snow storage experts and experts with international snow storage experience to guide the snow storage work.

  It is understood that more than 70,000 cubic meters of snow storage for the track comes from four snow source areas, including artificial snowmaking in local ski resorts and snow accumulation in some scenic spots.

The track has a total length of 2.5 kilometers, a pavement thickness of 1 meter, an average width of 6 meters, and a widest turning point of 9 meters.
