Turning snow into opportunity: Nepal’s ski movement

What started as a single student’s dream has grown into a foundation that teaches hundreds of Nepalis to ski.

In 2011, Nepali student Utsav Pathak and German backpacker Julius Seidenader met at a café in Pathak’s hometown of Charikot. Neither of them knew that this encounter would spark a movement teaching hundreds of people in Nepal how to ski.
