'''Yak skiing''' is a sport practiced in the Indian hill resort of [[Manali, Himachal Pradesh]], as a tourist attraction. The sport involves a skier waiting at the bottom of a slope and a [[yak]] at the top of the hill; yak and skier are connected by means of a rope going around a [[pulley]] at the top of the hill. To engage the yak, the skier must shake (and swiftly put down) a bucket of [[equine nutrition#Special feeding issues for ponies|pony nuts]]. This attracts the yak, which charges downhill and pulls the skier upward by means of the rope.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1077223,00.html|title=Extreme Yak Sports|last=Perry|first=Alex|date=4 July 2005|work=TIME Magazine|access-date=2012-03-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4644933.stm|title=Asia's newest sport - yak skiing|date=3 July 2005|work=BBC News|access-date=2008-10-21}}</ref>
