Q664

Which is the Asia's only Heli-Skiing Resort?

A.
Gulmarg
Answer
B.
Sonamarg
C.
Pahalgam
D.
Leh

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Gulmarg has the distinction of being Asia's only heli-skiing resort. A helicopter takes the skiiers up to the Apherwat peak from where they choose their own descent route. One can mark new tracks almost throughout the entire winter season. There are long chains of mountain Valleys and ridges covered with fine powder snow. One can even try a different valley each day with the aid of a helicopter. The high cost factor entailed in this sport restricts it to the more affluent section of society.
