Kashmir Ski 2011
Gulmarg Freeride Skiing
Tucked up close to the foothills of the Himalaya, Gulmarg was well known to the British for its fine summer atmosphere. Meaning the Meadow of Flowers, Gulmarg has since became a hot spot for freeride skiers with its lift to 4000 meters.
We will be there January 22 to February 5, 2011. The skiing off the top Gondola at 4000 meters offers a stunning 1000 meter drop through a variety of wide couloirs and bowls. From the mid-staion at 3000 meters, one can ski through the lower pine forests through the ancient village of Drang and down to Tanmarg. Skiing the “Paper Trees” offers a magical touch to an already enchanting experience. Life in Gulmarg is certainly one of the reasons for coming. We will have a blast teaming up with Paolo Tassi, guida alpina di Cortina, and John Falkiner, mayor of Gulmarg, and their Italian Telemarkers.
