Exploring Pakistan - 'The Pakistan FreeRide 2006'

The worlds highest plateau, the 'Deosai Plains' in Pakistan, hosted the most spectacular event in the history of the Himalayas. A worldwide gathering of talented 'freestyle' and 'freeride' skiers as well as snowboarders, joined by the cream of Pakistani skiers, to enter into the first ever extreme competition in a unique location.

A base camp village was designed to allow participants and invited guests to enjoy a week of activities and entertainment, including aerial demonstrations from Base Jumpers and Paraglider Pilots - legendary performances from world renowned DJs and local musicians, to name but a few of the outlined programme.

It is nice to watch such a spectacular event and I bet most of the people in Pakistan do not even know that such places exist. Btw there is a Skiing school of Pakistan Air Force at Naltar which does impart training to volunteers free of charge or a nominal charge.

People interested in learning may contact: the PAF Ski & Survival School at Naltar or through AIr Head Quarters Islamabad.
