“Ski Train” refused to exceed the rules of the ski team
The railway department responded: Passenger safety is the most important
The Chongli branch of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway was inaugurated on December 30 last year. It is a characteristic line from Beijing to Chongli and is hailed as a “ski train” by snow friends. Unlike ordinary high-speed trains, Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed trains are designed to take into account the needs of the multitude of skiers, design a relatively large luggage rack, and configure lockers for storing snowboards in some car connections. .
However, as of November 17, 2020, the Chongli Branch of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway will no longer be able to carry ski equipment whose sum of length, width and height exceeds 130 cm. Passengers can choose to purchase express ski equipment service if required. The rules caused controversy in the snow circle.
Judging from current snowboard specifications, most of the three sides and less than 130cm are children’s snowboards. The length of normal women’s boards is usually about 140cm and men’s is over 150cm. In the eyes of many snow lovers, this new railway regulation amounts to outright prohibiting bringing your own ski equipment on the train.
In response to questions from snow friends, the Beijing Railway Bureau responded that since the opening of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, ski enthusiasts have traveled more and more. At most, passengers carry more than 100 ski equipment on one train. , The No. 8 car is equipped with a small amount of ski storage, eventually causing a large number of ski equipment to be stacked in front of and behind the passenger seats at both ends of the car and in the aisle position, blocking the passage and tightening the space for the passengers. In addition, the luggage rack is not suitable for placing large ski equipment, which is prone to falling, which will affect the safety of passengers and trains.
According to the department of railways, the addition of the ski equipment express service is also to ensure passenger safety, order of travel, and improve the quality of passenger travel.
The price of a set of express snowboard is 88 yuan.
Ski enthusiasts said: fees are too high and service needs to be optimized
At the entrance of the Beijing North Railway Station, a circular broadcast of the notice that it is prohibited to carry more standard ski equipment on the train from November 17, snow friends can request the express service train if you need it.
The Beijing Railway Bureau declared that it had entered a new ski season with the normalization of the prevention and control of the new corona epidemic. In order to provide an increasing number of ski enthusiasts with a better driving experience, the department of railways has introduced door-to-door, door-to-station and station service. There are several forms of express delivery service for ski equipment, such as arrival at the door and from station to station the same day and the next day. The price of transportation is determined with reference to the pricing standards and timeliness of transportation in the current market. Skiers can make an appointment through website 12306, mobile phone client 12306, or go to the service counters at Beijing North Railway Station, Qinghe Station and Taizicheng Station one hour before driving. .
On the morning of the 18th, at the Ski Express office of the Beijing North Railway Station, more than a dozen snow friends came to consult and handle the ski express service. According to the current freight price provided by the railway department, the price of a snowboard station-to-station express transportation set is 88 yuan, and the next day delivery is 68 yuan. The highest price is door to door service. Prices for same-day delivery and next-day delivery are 128 yuan / set and 98 yuan / set respectively, and an additional 10 yuan is charged for packaging.
According to the staff of the Express Office, the preferential price will be implemented from November 17, 2020 to March 2021. If it is the original price, the price range of the 6 different express modes varies from 88 yuan to 168 yuan.
Ms. Zhang travels to and from Beijing and Chongli every snow season to ski, and can now only handle snowboard shipping services. “In the past, it cost 88 yuan to ship and return 88 yuan. It’s better to drive.”
There are also snow friends who approve of the express rail method of ski equipment, but think the fees are too high.
Compared to the price, what makes snow friends more uncomfortable is that if you order express delivery after 11am.

The special ski transport can borrow from other mountains.
Since the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed train opened at the end of last year, it has become a commuter train for snow lovers. Many snow lovers choose to take the high-speed train to go skiing in Chongli. A friend of snow said in an interview that given the limited capacity of the ski cabinet on the train, everyone was tacitly stacking snowboards on both ends of the wagon. Although it will affect the travel experience, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway is a short 1-hour trip, and everyone does not care about the convenience.
In fact, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed train was originally designed to be different from other high-speed trains. Multifunctional seats were placed between the first and second class seats. The original intention was to facilitate the placement of skis. However, it is difficult to buy multi-function tickets on the 12306 website.
The nature of the ski project determines the particularity of the ski transport. Some ski service experiences in developed countries like Switzerland and Japan are worth learning from. In an interview with a Beijing News reporter, Li Longlong, who has served as a ski instructor in Switzerland for many years, said that trains to various ski resorts in Switzerland have places for snowboards and all are free. Li Longlong introduced that snowboarders who rushed to Verbier from Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, and elsewhere basically brought their own snowboards. “The luggage rack on the train seat can be used to place snowboards, and there is also a place for snowboards at the entrance to the carriage.”
In response to new regulations by the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway that prohibit the transport of overregulated ski equipment, some friends of the snow said they could also learn from the handling of large luggage by the Japanese Shinkansen. In Japan, if you take the Shinkansen with large luggage (three sides and more than 160 cm, less than 250 cm), you can reserve seats with storage in advance, these seats are usually in the front and rear of the train. If there is no appointment, a fee of 1,000 yen (about 63 yuan) will be charged.
It is inevitable that you will encounter obstacles at the beginning.
As an important means of transportation for snow lovers to go skiing in Chongli, Li Xiaoming, chairman of the Beijing Ski Association, said that the opening of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway has greatly promoted the popularization and ski improvement.
Li Xiaoming said that shortly after the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed train opened last year, the main ski resorts were closed due to the epidemic and the first snow season was not completed. “This year is the second snow season, and all the major ski resorts in Chongli also have shuttle buses at Taizicheng Station. More and more people will take the high-speed train to Chongli,” Li Xiaoming said, taking the high-speed train from Beijing to Taizicheng only. It takes 1 hour while driving 2 to 3 hours. This will make many snow lovers choose to take the high speed train. “I think that in the future, more and more people will take the high-speed train to Chongli to ski.”
Speaking about the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed train ban on overly regulated ski equipment, Li Xiaoming said that it is normal to encounter some problems when skiing in China is in its infancy. “Relevant departments should conduct research and demonstration when making decisions to avoid Create a judgment for consumers to change the order.”
Li Xiaoming said that it is necessary to actively coordinate on the basis of ensuring passenger safety from the perspective of promoting skiing and creating a good environment. For example, if facilities such as ropes for attaching snowboards to the luggage rack can be installed, look for ways to provide ski enthusiasts with convenient, safe and comfortable transportation.
Li Xiaoming also said that the majority of skiers should fully understand and respect the real traffic safety issues, actively cooperate with the relevant departments, and enjoy skiing and enjoy skiing on the basis of safety. “The promotion and popularization of skiing has a long way to go. Mutual understanding and support from related departments and snow friends is needed. “
Sports scholar Yi Jiandong also said that the development of sports requires the establishment of a comprehensive, shared and mutually beneficial sports industry system and mechanism with the participation of the whole of society. If the sports industry is not supported by an external system, it is very difficult to develop.
