VCAS, Air Marshal Tahir Butt, visits Naltar skiing resort

PT Report

Gilgit, December 16: Vice Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Tahir Butt, visited the Naltar skiing resort today along with colonel (r) Amjad and others.

The senior military Air Force officer spent some time at the skiing resort checking the slope where several national level skiing competitions are held annually.

The immense potential of winter-sports tourism in  Gilgit – Baltistan remains largely untapped due to lack of political will, vision and, also, due to lack of infrastructure.

It might be a great idea to use the Naltar slope for organizing a regional (South Asia) level skiing competition, to start with.
