VIDEO: A Skier’s Journey – China

Claire Weiss |

“Skiing as sport is in itโ€™s infancy in China, a phenomenon of the countryโ€™s exploding middle class. As a means of survival, however, it is thousands of years old, a stone age hunter-gatherer technology born in the Altai mountains where China, Mongolia, Kazakhstanย and Siberia merge. On a vast trajectory that spans 11,000km of Northern China, Chad Sayers and Forrest Coots touch down into the rich past and dizzying future of these two respective Chinese ski cultures. As one rapidly expands, they find the other is at riskย of disappearing.”
