FAQ

Duration of Ski/ Snowboarding Courses?

Skiing is an exhilarating spot and it requires practice and dedication. Given the zeal you have in you, we suggest a week-long ski course for beginners to understand and attune themselves to get the hang of it. However, we offer Ski courses that run even longer or shorter depending on your time and convenience. Our basic ski courses begin at a 5-day long course and go up to 2 weeks or more. Contact us directly for more details on your requirements based on your level of expertise.

Cost of Ski/ Snowboarding Courses?

Our ski course charges start from INR 4,500 per day for a private instructor. The pricing is inclusive of pick up and drop from your hotel to the slopes. A basic ski/ snowboard package starts from 25,000 inclusive of a ski instructor, accommodation, food, and transport. Ski gear and equipment are to be rented separately. However, if you own your own gear, that’s even better. If you opt for ski packages that include accommodation and transport, the prices can vary depending on the services you book. For ski rental charges, please check our Ski Shop page.

Best time to learn Skiing?

In our opinion, the best time to learn skiing is from the month of December till the end of March. Usually, by the end of March, Gulmarg Ski Resort is shut down by the authorities. However, they extend it if the snow conditions are good, safe, and stable. The snow conditions are excellent and Gulmarg receives 6-7 feet of snow at its best. About 5 feet of snow is pretty common and stable during this time in the winter. Gulmarg backcountry receives 5 meters of snowfall or sometimes more between the months of December and February.
