International scholars and historians are slowly coming around to the idea that sliding on snow may have indeed originated in the northern tip of China’s #Xinjiang region — a wedge of territory that pokes up between Mongolia to the east and Kazakhstan to the west — instead of the Scandinavian mountains that were long considered its birthplace. But a deeper battle over skiing’s origins is already being waged within China’s own borders. It’s a struggle marked by fears that ethnic minorities like the Mongols and Kazakhs who’ve long lived in the Altai Mountains will have their way of life choked off by encroaching modernity — and the country’s ethnic Han Chinese majority, which dominates a government that has had no qualms shaping Chinese culture in its own image.
