I see that my mom was the last one to comment on the movie. Yes, we gave it to them for xmas and we love it too. I have just ordered another one for us to share with our friends. What I found so refreshing was that it was not a movie about the highest climb or the tragedy of some adventure, it was pure recreational enjoyment of the outdoors and on skis in a remote beautiful place where people live at peace with one another in their natural environment. Watching them make the skis was inspiring. And it was funny to boot. That young boy on on the Betty’s going straight downhill was hysterical. The footage of the horses pulling the sleds with the passengers singing and enjoying the ride were priceless as well. That added so much to the film. Thank you!

Nils Larsen’s documentary “Skiing in the shadow of Genghis Khan” is a hauntingly beautiful movie about the farm people in
the remote Altai mountains enjoying skiing on primitive homee made skis. The photography is superb, the scenery is awesome, and the mountain people delightful. We got it for Christmas and have seen it three times already, sharing it with our cross-county skiing friends. Thank you.
