Skiing and experimental archaeology

We have reconstructed a pair of Iron Age skies, which we recovered from melting ice. We use a skiiing technique that we learned from skihunters in the Chinese Altai

Sweet video. Do you have any videos or more details on the bindings? I'm an archaeologist in Alaska and would like to build a pair of these skis for a public talk. Thanks.

I love RUclips 😍 any conference or serious documentary on the topic?

[@secretsoftheice2798]

Ancient ski history has been sort of a dead end with the sources exhausted. There are very few if any serious conferences on this topic. You can check out this blogpost on ancient skis from the glacial ice if you wish: secretsoftheice.com/news/2018/10/04/skis/
