0Altay in northwest #China's #Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is believed to be one of the places where #skiing originated. For centuries, skiing was a necessary skill for the people who lived in this area.
Chihesi from Altay is a craftman who makes fur snowboards a traditional piece of #snowboarding equipment that local people have used for generations. His grandfather and father both grew up skiing on fur snowboards, and he has been teaching the traditional #craft to his sons, in an attempt to pass on and spread its #culture.
