G’day. I have just returned from another great winter in Gulmarg. I cannot count the number of powder days we had. Regular storms kept rolling through from earl Jan until mid March. Happy days.

Sorry, been too busy for weekly updates as planned. Powder turns and Apres beers were higher priority than afternoon computing. The winter so far. Great five weeks since I arrived.
