Do you have any skiing equipment you are no longer need? A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use.

In March we published a photo story about the extraordinary Zsnskar region in northern India，which is cut off from the outside world for more than seven months of the year，and only accessible (可通行的)via a frozen river．We also included information about the limited use of skiing in the region and the recent creation of the Zanskar Ski School：

“Despite(虽然) the difficulties of traveling through the region when the snow comes，skiing hasn’t traditionally been used as a means of transport by the locals，largely because trees don't grow here，so there is little in the way of raw materials (原材料)from which to make skis．In 1995，a group of British scientists in the region noticed the lack of skis and one of them returned to set up the Zanskar Ski School in Padam．The school provides lessons for a small fee and rents skis to the local people．Among the benefits that the school hopes to bring are improved education—children often find it difficult to get to school through the deep snow—and the possibility of offering ski tours to tourists in the future．So far，more than 300 local people have received training，and local doctors and policemen regularly borrow skis．”

But，what we weren't able to include in the article is that the ski school is always looking out for old skiing equipment—particularly of a size suitable for children—and，I thought, now the European ski season is coming to an end，there might be a few of you out there who have some old equipment you'd like to see go to a good home．If that's the ease ,you can get in touch with the school via their website .
