Priyanka loves it, Preity loves it and Kareena loves it too! The adventurous activity of skiing is something that you can totally look forward to when you plan on visiting a snowy place. But not every place offers a good terrain to ski even if it is covered in snow. You need to have a smooth and fluffy surface that’s not very slippery and lets you glide easily.
Preity Zinta who often runs away for amazing ski trips in California, recently shared beautiful pictures and videos on Twitter. Have a look:
