And what, you might ask, is a Borderski?
A dream, an epic journey, a word that doesn't
actually exist....
...also an all-woman ski traverse of the
eastern Pamir mountains—the "Roof of the
World"—where Tajikistan, Afghanistan, China,
and Kyrgyzstan bump edges, by seasoned
expeditioners Rebecca Haspel, Kate Harris and
Alison Criscitiello.
The goal of this 2015 expedition was to
document the impact of fences on migratory
wildlife, particularly Marco Polo sheep, and to
inspire others to think beyond borders,
whatever shape they take. They themselves had
to 'think outside the box' when their own plans
were greatly impacted by borders and
politics... and the driest winter in decades!
