During ski resort internships in China, you’ll be able to enjoy a cup of hot green tea while overlooking the rad snow-capped mountains of Mount Tai, Emei, and Hua.

And don’t forget to feed your growling stomach, because by the time you’re done shredding the gnar, it’ll be begging you to feed it some traditional Chinese food, like dumplings, fried Mahi, and stinky tofu.
