Ford plans Indian Ski Resort

Alfred Ford, great-grandson of Henry Ford (founder of Ford Motors), is keen to find a spot in the Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh to open a $250-million ski village. Ford's company has surveyed several spots including, Manali, Chanshal, and Kangra mountains, besides a couple of places in the neighbouring hill state of Uttaranchal. A spot overlooking Manali is the favourite location for theinternational standard resort at about 8,000-9,000 feet above sea level, close to where the treeline ends.
