Auli Ski course (2500 to 3050M), Dec – Mar
Skiing in Uttarakhand is popular adventure sport. Snow-clad peak of Auli is repository of natural beauty and hub for various adventure sports and skiing is one of them.
Many adults who never learned to ski as children are hesitant to step into the world of skiing. But picture this: a snowy slope touched by the first warm rays of sunshine, skiers sliding happily on their skis, and you’re right there – on the top of the mountain, enjoying the incredibly beautiful panoramic view of what can only be described as a mountainous winter wonderland. To live and see this in real life is a dream many people share.
“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” – this may be true in some contexts, but not when it comes to learning to ski. While children might have an easier time picking up the sport, adults learn to ski just as easily with the right amount of motivation and training. Nowadays, more than a third of beginner’s lessons are attended by adults – so stop making excuses and jump right into the action!
Auli is an important ski destination in Uttarakhand, India famous for Alpine skiing. The small yet picture-perfect town of Auli is India’s premier ski resort destination.
