Feel Good Story: Afghan girl risking her life to ski

Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Just came across and watched this wonderful Youtube video about a woman named Nazima Khairzad who lives in Afghanistan (where sports are typically forbidden for women and skiing in general is relatively new) who is bravely going against tradition to learn to ski. Despite even receiving death threats, she continues to go out there and give it her all. Her love and passion for skiing is obvious!

Just wanted to share for others to enjoy and hear about her incredible story! :smile:
