Exotic Places to Ski - Skiing in Chinese Altai Mountains
A while ago Janne listed 10 places we would like to ski. There are very many interesting places to ski on this planet, and some of those places a very unique and exotic. I would really like to ski some of those exotic places, or even visit.
One very exotic place to ski is the Altai region in China. Imagine yourself skiing places where you see no other people and ski lifts, only huge fields of untouched snow. Surrounded by deep silence, you make your turns with no fear that someone is going ruin your powder field. In places like Chamonix you have to quick in the morning in order to taste the powder. By 10 am all powder snow near to lifts is skied.
Oh yes, skiing in central Asia would be awesome. Check out the video below. It would be nice to ski with locals and see how they make their own skis. Watch the video and see how a local man skis with his home made powder guns. I bet those bindings have not DIN adjustment screw..
See how much they have snow there in Chinese mountains. It looks like a secret powder heaven. This is a cool video, I like it. I really enjoy those two scenes in which a guy jumps off a cliff with those home made powder guns. Awesome. I wish I could ski those same mountains one day

Pretty interesting video. As for me anywhere new is exotic. Would like to go back and get some more powder days in Tahoe though…
