Skiing is something that is always to be experienced, not even as a guided activity but skiing after getting properly trained and coming down from the high slopes of Phase 2 in Gulmarg. It’s like an addiction. Once you learn, you can’t stop. The initial days are always difficult. It took time to adjust to the cold and heavy shoes, but once we all were ready to face that feeling, it had been much more fun than I initially imagined.
