Joshimath and offers skiing slopes for beginners
as well as professionals. The Govt. Institute here

certified instructors, quality equipment and very
good ski slopes makes for a very good ski resort
despite its relative in accessibility (No Airport
in 300 kms vicinity and hilly terrain) . National
level ski championships are regularly held here.
Note:
Indifferent snowfall in 2006 and 2007 season
ensured that skiing could not be done
uninterrupted and had to be stopped in between. So
check the snow levels before planning the dates.
