On November 10, China Railway Beijing Group launched its upgraded "Easy Travel with Snow Gear" (雪具便利行) service for the 2026–2027 ski season.

For this ski season, two more railway stations—Beijing Chaoyang and Miyun—have been added to the service network, bringing the total number of stations offering the service to 10. These stations include the major departure stations, for winter travel, along the Beijing section of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou and Beijing-Harbin high-speed railways. Four additional high-speed train services have been introduced between Beijing Chaoyang and Miyun. Passengers planning to travel with snow gear can check service information on the Railway 12306 (铁路12306) app.

After purchasing their train tickets, passengers can select the "Easy Travel with Snow Gear" service on the confirmation page to make a reservation and pay the service fee, provided that the combined length, width, and height of the gear do not exceed 200 centimeters. For gear larger than this, consignment is still required due to limited space inside the high-speed train cabins.

As the two newly designated stations offering the service, the Beijing Chaoyang and Miyun stations are both displaying prominent "Easy Travel with Snow Gear" signage to help passengers navigate. Meanwhile, high-speed trains offering this in-carriage transport service have storage spaces specifically reserved for snow gear. These storage spaces, with clearly visible signs, are equipped with securing straps and anti-slip mats to ensure safe transport. Train attendants are responsible for checking all snow gear, ensuring proper fastening to prevent any object from sliding during the journey. They also conduct regular inspections of the storage areas and remind passengers to collect their gear before arrival. These measures are designed to guarantee safe transport and unobstructed movement in the carriages.
