In India |
With
their vast open spaces, above the snow line, the Garhwal
and Kumaon hills of Uttaranchal, offer a plethora
of ski locales. For the avid skier, cross - country
runs of 10-20 km are now available, with the added
advantage of fresh powder snow.
Due
to their awesome height and spread, Garhwal and Kumaon,
like other areas in the Himalayas, offer the thrills
of exploratory long distance skiing, round the year.
Winter skiing in Garhwal is, now, professionally conducted
at the Auli slopes.
The
usual season is late December to early March, depending
on the snow conditions.
Skiing
at Auli:
Auli,
16 kms from Joshimath, is an ideal winter resort. The
divine slopes of Auli, coupled with state-of-the-art
facilities have made it comparable with the best in
the world.
