Has anyone been skiing around Beijing? I'm thinking of going this weekend, I'm a total beginner, never been before but my friends and I want to try.
I really envy how on earth you get that much time and energy if you really are working because all the time I read from you is; ice skating, skiing,ktv stuff and so on... tell me the tips guru

Get a pair of skies. You might choose water type skies, since snow in Bj is rare occurrence.
There are a few places to ski around Beijing http://www.nanshanski.com/index-en.asp is one of the most famous ones.
However I do have to warn you, it does get very busy on the weekend and during public holidays! You know how the Chinese drive and cycle, well imagine all of that on skis...Coordination is not their forte.
Also, beware that medical services at this place are of a very "Chinese" standard god forbid you hurt yourself.
Sorry for being so negative, I've had a "China" day.
If you wanna spend a good weekend, take the train and go to Zhangjiakou, 200km away from Beijing. There are some good places for skying. Zhangjiakou is trying to be the host city of the 2022 winter olympics.
Or, if you wanted to go a little further, and probably invest 2 or 3 days you can go to Jilin and go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beidahu,_Jilin
It was the host of the 2007 winter Asian games and is a pretty good ski field.
