Zanskar Ski School
The Zanskar Ski School, located in the remote Indian Himalaya, is the first cross-country ski school in the region, dedicated to providing ski equipment and instruction to the Zanskari people. Established as a small nonprofit organization, it aims to improve communication, transportation, rescue, and job opportunities for the local communities through the sport of skiing.
Situated in one of the highest and coldest inhabited places in the world, Zanskar faces significant challenges due to its harsh climate and isolation, with winter temperatures often reaching -30 degrees Celsius. The ski school was inspired by a group of British geology students who, during a research expedition in 1995, envisioned a collective dream to bring skiing to this ancient kingdom.
