Be very careful. I stayed for a month in Feb 2018. From the moment we arrived at Srinigar airport i was very scared. Hawkers are everywhere and impersonate guides. It is a country at war and this is evident from leaving the airport. I have never seen anything like it with regard to poverty and rubbish. The ski resort is far from international and the hotels (at best) are like the worst UK hostels. Gangs of men and a lack of any female presence is shocking. You cannot go on the stage 2 part of the gondola if you do not have an avalanche bag. You have to sign a disclaimer before you alight. No pisted runs and very crude signage. Gondola stage 1 is a mountain bike run that would scare the most experienced intermediate.

Overrun by rich Indians that treat the Kashmiris like skivies... it's like going back in time. Hundreds of affluent Indians doing selfies and being very vain.

Having said all this you will never meet such wonderful, humble people as the Kashmiris. My advice would be do your homework first. We went with Ski Gulmarg and could easily have gone solo as we had little or no input from them the entire trip.
