Utsav Pathak is a Nepalese skier, snow sports promoter and organizational leader, best known as the president and founder of Ski and Snowboarding Foundation Nepal (NFSS), a non profit organization focused on the development of skiing and snowboarding in Nepal.[1][2] His work is associated with the early institutional growth of snow sports and ski tourism in the country.[3][4][5]
In 2016, at about 20 years old, Pathak tried skiing for the first time — a sport he had only known through media. That experience helped solidify his conviction that skiing could become more than a novelty in his home country.[1]
