Indian army soldiers stand guard on the edges of the ski slopes during India's national winter ski championships in Kongdoori, Kashmir, India, on March 4, 2004.
The slopes were once the target of Pakistani artillery, but the two countries agreed last November to a truce as part of moves to end over half a century of hostility.
Gulmarg, a resort where the winter games are being held, is less than 6 miles from the ceasefire line or Line of Control (LoC) that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan, while Kongdoori is even closer to the military boundary.
