Gulmarg Ski Resort Guide
Gulmarg, India's best ski destination, offers something for everyone. There are plenty of off-piste powder runs (with the risk that goes with them). 2011 saw the arrival of heli-skiing in Gulmarg. The main Alpine slopes offer great runs of 2 km or so with a stunning altitude drop of over 700m. The slopes have a gondola to the top, and is called Phase 2. For the intermediate skier, there is the Phase 1, a 3km long trail through the wooded hills. This trail is usually cured with snow beaters. For learners, Gulmarg has the "baby slopes": 3 slopes of varying difficulties, equipped with ski lifts and dozens of instructors are available. Equipment is available at many Government run ski shops for around 10$ a day and is generally good quality. www.gulmargsnowsafety.com provides good information resources, avalanche control services, and some rescue services as well.

To another reveiwer:
We stay at the Heevan retreat. Looks ok and so are the reviews. Nice to hear you have a good time out there in Gulmarg.
I always now go to gulmargsnowsafety dot com they use the snow-forcast information plus the actual avalanche situation.
Really looking forward to our time in Gulmarg:
Thx sven
