Asia’s Largest Ski Resort In The Works

The state of TEXAS is well known for doing everything bigger than everyone else. Just take a trip down there and you will see that it’s very true. And without a doubt, Texans take pride in this characteristic as well. I MYSELF am not a Texan but trust me, I go there quite often I do know a lot on observation alone.
The obvious is the people. Texans love to be bigger than everyone else. From the GUT to the HAIR; if you’re a Texan, your features must outshine everyone else. Some of these attributes are a direct result from the food they eat. I once saw a Texan eat a 72 OUNCE steak in an 30 min. Then he washed it down with a supersized bottle of GRAVY.
Well it looks like there’s an entire nation looking to dethrone the state of Texas as the undisputed champion of big. YAO MING, who is the tallest NBA player, plays for the Houston Rockets. China has the biggest and best FIRE WORK shows. And now China will build the biggest Snowboard/Ski Resort.
Via China Daily, the Kanas International Ski Resort will include a skiing site, a man-made lake, a golf course, and hotels and villas.
The deal is reportedly the largest planned tourism project since the “July 5 riot”, which badly damanged Xinjiang’s tourism industry.
Construction of the first phase of the project will begin next year, and the entire project will be finished in about ten years.
The highest point at the ski resort is 2,600 meters, and its slopes extend downward between 600 and 800 meters. The resort is covered with snow from November to May every year.
