| I'm not sure which of these sounds crazier.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yak_poloYak polo (or sarlagan polo) is a Mongolian variant of the sport polo. It is played on yaks instead of on horseback.Originally invented in the early 2000s as a tourist attraction, the sport is as of 2006 reported to have attracted a modest following in Mongolia. The Mongolian Association of Sarlagan Polo claims that the sport is booming, with four games a week being played in the summer of 2006.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yak_skiingYak skiing is a sport reportedly practiced in the Indian hill resort of Manali as a tourist attraction.According to Time Magazine, it 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 nuts. This attracts the yak, which charges downhill and pulls the skier upward by means of the rope.CODO ERGO SUM |

| Shhh, you wouldnt want anyone to catch on and industrailize it. I have a feeling benefit is less the animal and more the process. The process that turned cows into little more than an utter, and Bull into lots of yummy hamburger. |

| Ok let's think about this Yak at the top Skier at the bottom.Yak runs downhill and skier gets pulled up.At some point Possible Merge!!!!!Yaks are bovine and a bulls response to something coming at them is to put their head down and charge. Skier gets punted like a football.JimUsers <> Logic |

| Some people prefer the collision. Maybe they are skiing uphill backwards. |

most fun is to douse yourself with yak pheromones before skiing.
