Making tracks at a Chinese Nordic skiing extravaganza

[Richard Roman]

Kris, who is a good friend and is a member here is quoted:

Nordic and downhill ski venues are cropping up across China’s northern provinces, according to Kris Van de Velde, director of sport for Nordic Ways International, the Swedish company that organizes Vasaloppet China in partnership with local authorities. But although many here still regard skiing as an activity one tries for novelty’s sake - like bungee jumping - young Chinese are beginning to consider it a healthy winter activity.

This is a good read
