Ice Skiing @ Gulmarg.....

Today, we went to Gulmarg...!
Its at the distance of about 65km from hotel & about 2 hour of run...!!
Its at about 19000 ft above the ground and completly covered with snow....!!

Our car had to stop down the hill as it can't go up on the hill, because, there was lot of snow on the road, risk of getting slipped....!!
So we had to take different vehicle, a sumo with its tyres chained, so that it doesn't slip in snow....!!

Before going up, we had to wear fur coat and gumboots, which are needed there up, as the snow was almost 2 ft deep....!!

My mom was not feeling well, so she didn't came up with us...!!
She was down sitting in our car & also she didn't wanted only me, my sis n bro to go alone up..!!
So she told dad to come along with us......!!
So, dad and three of us went..!!

While going up on the hill.... we saw beautiful scenery... long & tall standing pine trees, green throughout the year, having snow on them.... looked beautiful...... :) when seen from up on the hill....
And we reached the place - Gulmarg....!!
Its very beautiful place....!!
There is nothing but just snow, snow and snow...!! :)
Looking damn beautiful..!! :)

There were many dhabas to eat food, n many small tea and coffee shops.....!!
There were many tourist who had come to that spot...!!
The moment we kept our legs on the snow, our legs went inside the snow, till our knees...!!
& inspite of gumboots and fur coat, we could feel the cold...!
Our hands and legs were frozen...!!
We were not able to move them...!!
Then my sis, brother & me, we all three did skiing....!! :)
Of course with the help of a teacher.. ;)
In fact, my sis, even fell once while skiing, straight into the snow..!! :) :P hehehe..!!
At start there was a bit fear mixed with excitement, but after doing it once, we felt the real fun.... :)
It was great...!!
Sledging was also there, but we didn't go for it, because my mom was sitting down in car alone and was not well...!!
So we didn't had much mood to enjoy....!
So just after skiing and clicking some photos, we came down...!!
Returned the fur coat and gumboots and then headed back to hotel....!
Mom rested in hotel & now she is fine.... we then went for dinner, had dal, brinjal ki sabzi & roti & now sleeping time...!!
But i m continuously sneezing.. i have caught cold... very badly... :p bcoz of playing in snowing...... :) :) ;)

But, Gulmarg is really good place.. :)
Had fun with skiing..!! :)
