Description
Skiier Arif Mohammad Khan -- the only athlete from India to compete at the Beijing Winter Olympics -- trains ahead of the Games at a ski resort in Indian-administered region of Kashmir.
At the age of four, Arif put on skis for the first time, just a few kilometres from the Line of Control that divides the disputed, conflict-ridden region.
"My dream has always been promoting India globally as a winter sports destination because we have the Himalayas," says Arif. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
