Auli

When the Kashmir troubles started, we needed another place to hold our winter sports meets (did you know we have had a National Winter Games since 1996?). They've been held on the slopes above Joshimath (on the pilgrim trail to Badrinath), at a facility run by the Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam. It has decent slopes, ski lifts, and it still offers what are probably the world's cheapest skiing lessons. The accommodations and food aren't spectacular, but if you want the high life, further up-slope and upscale is the Cliff Top Club resort.
