Auli has been selected to host the upcoming National Skiing Games, bringing athletes from across the country to compete on its natural snow slopes. However, the schedule will depend entirely on the snowfall conditions. If weather conditions are favorable, the skiing events are expected to take place in January or February next year.
Officials say that timely and adequate snowfall will be crucial for smooth organization of the competition. A delay or shortage of snow may affect preparations and could lead to scheduling challenges.
Winter Games Association Secretary Ajay Bhatt stated that the Ad-hoc Committee of the Ski and Snowboard Association has awarded Auli the hosting rights. The final dates will be announced only after assessing snowfall. The announcement has sparked enthusiasm among regional athletes and skiing enthusiasts.
