    At what altitude is the world's highest ski resort?

    Question #105494. Asked by madkeen4. (May 11 09 3:45 PM)

    		The world's highest ski resort was Chacaltaya in Bolivia, which is 5,300 metres above sea level. This closed due to having 'melted' away.

    The highest ski resort is now Jade Dragon in the Yunnan Provice in China, the gondola access to which is 4516 metres above sea level.

    		The highest "ski resort" (one old tow-rope lift and a cafe at the base) is in South America's poorest country, Boliva, atop Mt. Chacaltaya. The lift isn't always running, so chances are you'll have to hike it.

    And it's high -- more than 17,300 feet.
