With the 2022 Winter Olympics 80 days away, organizers have begun to make artificial snow at the National Alpine Skiing Center. The center, located in the Yanqing competition zone, is set to host the Alpine skiing competitions at Beijing 2022.

在距離北京2022年冬奧會開幕80天之際，延慶賽區(qū)國家高山滑雪中心正式啟動冬奧會賽時造雪工作。

The snowmaking work is expected to last until mid-January.

預(yù)計造雪任務(wù)1月中旬完成。

A series of water-conserving and recycling designs have been put into place to optimize water usage for snowmaking, human consumption and other purposes, according to the Beijing 2022 organizing committee.

北京冬奧組委介紹說，已建成多種節(jié)水和循環(huán)利用設(shè)施，以節(jié)約利用造雪、生活用水和其他用途的用水。

Around 90% of the snow used at the Alpine skiing venue for the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics was reportedly artificial, while artificial snow was also a feature of Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014.

據(jù)報道，2018年平昌冬奧會高山滑雪場內(nèi)大約90%的雪都是人造的，而人造雪也是2010年溫哥華冬奧會和2014年索契冬奧會的特色之一。

The center is the first Olympic-standard Alpine ski venue in China with a maximum vertical drop of about 900 meters. It has seven slopes.

延慶賽區(qū)國家高山滑雪中心是中國首個奧運(yùn)會標(biāo)準(zhǔn)高山滑雪場地，建有7條雪道，最大垂直落差約900米。
