Learn2Skis Siri Halle sings her ski song to invite pakistani to ski
This song Siri halle wrote while living in PakistanD working at the embassy. She wanted to invite the Norwegian Pakistani to ski, as this was something she felt important for the better life in Norway.
She had no idea then (in 2007) that she was gonna start her own ski school. It was just a fun project while living in Pakistan :)
