Will I be skiing alone?No. Your ski trainer will be with you at all times. Even for intermediate skiers, we always recommend skiing with a buddy.
-
How many hours will I be skiing in a day?A typical day of skiing is from 10am-4pm. You can buy lunch on the slopes.
-
How do I reach Gulmarg?Best way to reach is by taking a flight to Srinagar. We will pick you up from the airport.

I have children. Can they ski?Absolutely. Children pick up skiing much faster than adults. Ideal age to start is 4 years +.
