An unusual sight awaits visitors to the Songhua Lake Ski Resort in Jilin Province, northeast China: a group of skiers dressed in full Peking Opera costume, their flowing sleeves and ornate headpieces dancing in the wind as they glide effortlessly over the snow. With each graceful leap and turn they create a breathtaking fusion of art and sport. On the snowy slopes, they are not only showcasing a centuries-old cultural treasure, but also redefining what is possible in the world of winter sports.
