Competing with the world-class skiers will provide an excellent opportunity to Pakistani athletes to learn from them and improve their standing in the world rankings.
The WSFP has also procured a snow-making machine to make it less dependent on snowfall in the area. With the installation of new tow-lift and the induction of snow-making machine, the winter sports enthusiasts are set to enjoy a prolonged season this year.
