We commenced operations on January 12, 2024. However, we’ve encountered the most challenging snow conditions in decades. The good news is that it seems the worst time is behind us. A snowstorm is expected on January 25, offering significant relief for powder enthusiasts. Unfortunately, many January bookings had to be postponed or cancelled. On a positive note, February appears promising for an excellent month of skiing. Despite the challenges, we remain busy catering to local tourists and showcasing the beauty of our Heliski mountains.

Gulmarg Ski Resort is experiencing a severe snow storm

Billa Bakshi — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 14:00:37 +0000

Gulmarg Ski Resort in the Himalayan Kashmir valley is experiencing a severe snowstorm, resulting in significant snow accumulation in different regions. In particular, the Gulmarg Ski Resort at 2600 meters has received one meter of snow, while the Mt Apharwat and Pir Panjal range at 4300 meters has received nearly two meters of snow. The temperature in the Gulmarg Ski Resort has dropped to -10°C over the last two days. Due to the large amount of snow, the avalanche stability of the higher reaches of the mountain will be high for the next two days, making it an ideal time for an adventure in the Himalayas. If you are interested, contact us as we still have some availability.

Gulmarg gets the season’s best storm

Billa Bakshi — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 03:05:38 +0000

Finally, we got the season’s best storm. Gulmarg ski resort received almost more than a metre of snow from the last three days at 2600 m, and up on the Apharwat mountain at 4300 m, almost two metres of snow!

The avalanche risk is now low because the heavy snowstorm has flashed most of the snow layers.
We still have some availability for the February month; don’t miss the world’s highest snow!

Finally, we got enough snow in the Himalayas to ski

Billa Bakshi — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 14:59:01 +0000

Finally, we got enough snow in the Himalayas to ski, but a very serious unstable snowpack, presently we have 4-5 feet of snow at 4300 ms, this is a low average snow base! First time in thirty years! Thin snow storms and long sunny days convert snow into grains, melting process in a day and freezing in night temperatures, giving nice finishing to grains, ready to roll!

The last storm brought 2 feet of snow, covering the 2 feet of shallow big grains, size of 3mm, Even at 25-30 degrees slopes are sliding and on the lee side some slab avalanches as we need one more heavy snowstorm to flash the unstable snowpack. Our Gulmarg back-country ski and snowboarding trips will start on 20th January 2023 and Heliski First of February 2023! Have a great winter.

We are going through full spring here, this year early spring hit the mountains, overall we had an average snowfall in Gulmarg Ski resort. First, in two months of the winter season, December and January snow conditions were very unstable lots of depth whore, the base layer was fully grainy but after a couple of storms and an increase in temperature in February, the slopes were stable for deep gully runs and big north faces.

2022 winter season we had less flow of foreign skiers because of early January covid bad situations in Kashmir. Covid almost affects 90% of foreigners, but ski slopes were very busy due to domestic tourism. In the 2022 winter season hotel prices gone skyrocket in Gulmarg! For all rich Indians, Kashmir became paradise!

We are requesting all our guests who want to come in the winter of 2023 to make an early booking because of the hotel accommodation. We look forward to seeing you all in the 2023 winter!
