From AlJazeera In PIctures: "Photos: Kashmir resort sees tourists after back-to-back shutdowns"*

When I saw this today I found it to be a pleasant diversion from all things tRUMP. The photos are from
the Gulmarg resort area in Indian-administered Kashmir. I remembered that I had read about this
some time ago and yes, Gulmarg is on the list I found of the 6 world ski areas with the greatest vertical
drop**. Gulmarg is also the area located at the highest elevation. I found that the term "on-piste" is a French
term that identifies a groomed/maintained ski trail. Enjoy!
