I'm you read the article you will see how skating is being exported to Afghanistan as a way to empower young people and promote peace/unity among its population. I was wondering if anyone has thought of doing this for skiing?

I think Afghanistan has tremendous potential in terms of skiable terrain; It has the most Mtn ranges per sq mile of any country on earth and is situated at a pretty high altitude. If the situation there can be stabilized I think Afghanistan could develop an initial niche tourism base by developing ski resorts appealing to freeskiers/snowboarders.
