Snowsports industry faces challenging race ahead

There's been a ton written this year about the very rosy future of golf in China, with its numbers of players growing like never before.

Now there's encouraging news, too, on another sport I dabble in myself, which appears to be flourishing just as strongly, again particularly among aspirational young professional Chinese: Skiing.

I heard all about it from Tania Alliod, a snowsports coach normally based in the Scottish highland town of Grantown-on-Spey.
