Snow polo is perhaps the most exclusive “sport” of all time. The World Championships were also held in Tianjin (China) from 2011 to 2017. I believe that St. Moritz has been hosting snow polo tournaments in Aspen classy style since 1985, as reported by VF Vomitive. I think the horses are adapted to snow and the track is prepared so that there is no ice under the snow, which must have the right characteristics for these events. It’s all about fancy, expensive meals, aperitifs, and flashy snowwear.
