The Himalayan village of Kalinchowk, sitting at an altitude of about 12,000 feet in eastern Nepal and known for its temple to the Hindu goddess Kali, gets snow every year. After a recent storm, the town’s young people flock to wooden lodges and dance around campfires.
Utsav Pathak is determined to get some of them on skis.
“In Nepal, nobody skis, I think,” says Pathak.
