Gul Panag’s Ski Adventure: Rediscovering a Beloved Sport Through Parenting

Mumbai, July 6 (IANS) Actress Gul Panag has shared a heartfelt account of how teaching her son Nihal skiing led her back to the slopes after many years.

In her latest post on Instagram, Panag reflected on how skiing became more than just a skill she wanted to teach her son Nihal. She explained that her intention was to introduce him to the sport so it could become a useful life skill for him. The actress revealed that, however, as she returned to skiing after a long gap, the experience unexpectedly turned personal for her as well.

Sharing a series of photos and videos, Gul wrote, “With much of Europe sweltering through another heatwave, I found myself looking back at a place I’ll always associate with snow. Levi. It’s where I first learnt to ski, almost 15 years ago. Back then, skiing felt incredibly aspirational. I spent a few days getting the hang of things, while the husband decided snowboarding was more his thing. A friend once described the difference perfectly: “Snowboarding is hard to learn but easy to master. Skiing is easy to learn but difficult to master.” Fifteen years later, I can confidently say… the journey is still very much on.”
