Snowsnake (Episode 9): Host Steve Sxwithul'txw learns how Snowsnakes are made (and why women cannot be present while they are) and how the game originated. These sleek projectiles are works of art in themselves and are finely tuned to gain maximum advantage in competition. Steve learns the art of making snakes, practices intensely, and then heads north to Whitehorse to pit himself against the best in the game.
