* "Xinjiang herdsmen preserve skiing's origin with ancient fur snowboards" (2019-01-12, xinhuanet.com/english/2019-01/12/c_137738235.htm) [archive.is/IlXbq] [begin excerpt]: Sengel, a 33-year-old herdsman in Altay Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, started traveling through inhabited mountainous regions, only with a kind of ancient fur snowboards that were used by his ancestors about 12,000 years ago.
In 2015, an ancient rock painting depicting people hunting on the fur snowboards was found in Altay Prefecture, dating back about 12,000 years, which made Altay one of the places where skiing originated.
The fur snowboards, which are made of pine wood and horsehide, are still being used by local herdsmen because of their simple and smart designs.
"We choose the horsehide on which the grain runs in same direction, which provide traction to prevent skiers from slipping when they are traveling uphill, while allows them to slide forward more smoothly when going downhill," Sengel said.
With other eight local herdsmen, Sengel planned to travel about 300 kilometers in mountainous regions in ten days, among which the route of over 100 kilometers is in uninhabited area.
"Through this traveling, we hope more and more people can know about our fur snowboards in order to better preserve the ancient heritage," he said. [end excerpt]
