The first snow

As I tuned into the radio this evening, I heard that the first snow of the season has starting falling in Uttaranchal, which brought back the memories of skiing in Auli last winter. The news reader said that the temples of Badrinath and Kedarnath(which are close to Auli) are about to be closed owing to beginning of the snow fall.

I am going to be in Auli again in the coming skiing season a couple of months down the line. As always, waiting is a killer when there is some excitement coming ahead. And I also got a couple of requests to write in detail about Auli so that they can get prepared for their Auli trip. So while in anticipation, I have started writing a trip report on my last visit to Auli. Till its out, here are the images from the previous Auli skiing trip.
