The foreign group only managed 12 runs, while the Chinese group completed 13. Originally, the company had mixed things up by including a foreigner in the Chinese group—a retired man from Hong Kong...

Day 1 Report of Heliskiing with Snow Enthusiasts
The Chinese team really showed their mettle and outperformed the foreigners. Today, due to training, the Chinese group took off an hour later than the other two groups of four foreigners, but they ended up skiing more runs than them. The foreign group only managed 12 runs, while the Chinese group completed 13. Originally, the company had “mixed in some sand,” placing a foreigner in the Chinese group—a retired architect from Hong Kong named Eric. According to Liu Xiaoshan: “He was panting after just one run, felt so embarrassed he went home without even having lunch.” In the afternoon, they added a young girl from the Czech Republic who was also snowboarding—she was really good and fast—but the Chinese group skied even faster. Often, just as the guide stopped, Feifei, right behind, would catch up, and Liu Xiaoshan, bringing up the rear, would also reach the guide’s side within 10 seconds, frequently making sharp turns that sent up walls of snow spray. Quite the show-off.
