He's driving with ski boots... wrong side of the road....etc...
Pretty funny...

السلام عليكم
I lieu of doing a TR I'm just going to post PIX... We're still collecting the PIX so if i find some more good shots I'll add them to the thread..
We had a crew of 8... Made up of mostly Hunter Ski Patrol..
Suffice to say - we rode deep snow each day... We had to work for it... Climbs topping out over 14,000' ... the mountain is serviced by gondolas... One to mid and one from mid to top...
Lodging was like being at camp... Food was great... People were all great! Lots of guns around but you get used to it...
Insanely nice place!
I will return someday - In Shalla(God willing)

dmc, thanks so much for posting. One of the best trip report I've ever read, completely eye-opening, jaw dropping. Looks like an awesome trip. Bet you that authentic cuisine was sick...
