Part of the Zhangjiakou competition area, Genting Ski Park at Zhangjiakou Genting Snow Park is located in the Chongli district of Zhangjiakou, Hebei, about 100 miles northwest of Beijing's urban core and in the vicinity of Heping Forest Park and the G95 Capital Area Loop Expressway corridor.

The resort was built in 2011 and officially opened in 2012. Venue construction began in November 2016. It includes six tracks and various different courses, and will host all snowboarding and freestyle skiing events except for men's and women's big air.

Genting Snow Park hosted a FIS World Cup snowboard halfpipe contest in December 2019 as an Olympic test event. Scotty James, Yuto Totsuka and Ruka Hirano took the men's podium, while Liu Jiayu, Cai Xuetong and Maddie Mastro took the women's podium. It was just the second FIS World Cup halfpipe event ever hosted in China, following a 2011 event at Yabuli. The resort has also hosted two FIS World Cup snowboard cross events, in February 2019 and November 2021.

Zhangjiakou Mountain Media Center is located in the complex of venues and is rebuilt from the Yunding Hotel. Yunding Ski Park is not only a training base for the national freestyle skiing and snowboarding team, but also provides a high-quality venue for public ice and snow sports.

Part of the Beijing competition area, Shougang Ski Jump at Big Air Shougang is a newly constructed venue located in the city's Shijingshan district, less than 15 miles west of Beijing's urban core and along the Yongding River. It was built over an old steel mill and completed in late 2019. Existing coolant towers will serve as a backdrop.

It will host snowboarding and freestyle skiing's big air competitions.

Organizers plan for the venue to be permanent after the Games' conclusion, hosting large-scale outdoor activities such as concerts and conferences.

The design concept is derived from the traditional flying style in the Dunhuang murals in China.
