Alfred Ford, heir to Mr. Henry Ford, had started an ambitious project to turn Manali into an International Ski destination. However, the project, under the name of "Himalayan Ski Village", is mired in controversy and has failed to take off. Local residents opposed many of the clauses that were entered between Himalayan Ski Village and Government.
