The purpose is to set up a training base in Harbin for the Hong Kong Ski Team. Harbin Sport University is the only sport university in the world that operate its own ski facility and the name of their ski facility is called ''Champion Ski Course'' (冠軍滑雪場) since it has already produced a couple of world champions. Even though it is not a five stars facility, it has everything a training facility needs such as hotel, good slopes for alpine skiing, half pipe skiing and mogul skiing as well as cross country skiing. Most importantly it provides the top teaching resources one could find from the top ranked sport university in mainland China.

Samson Siu, SA-HK Secretary General indicated that more training program for members of the Hong Kong Ski Team will be set up here in Harbin in the coming winter season.
