Ski Mountaineering in China
China is one of the worlds most mountainous countries, with or without Tibet. Here are some pictures from a ski ascent and descent of Muztag Ata, 7546m, in the Pamirs, very close to the borders with Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
Skiing down from the high camp at 6800m the day after out summit day.
