When winter sets in, Kashmir gets too cold. But when it snows, the entire landscape is covered with a white blanket, making it a perfect time to eat, drink, play, and share warm Santa stories. Oodles of snow bring new opportunities like skiing, skating, snowboarding, heli-skiing, building snowmen, etc. There is a definite charm, as the snow blanket on the landscape is a visual treat for all.
