About the Place
Gulmarg is normally blessed with unbelievable amounts of snow. It ranks in the realms of Utah and Niseko in the snowfall stakes. The average annual snowfall is not well documented, but it is thought to be about 14 metres, while in the year 2004 it came around 20 metres. The year 2010 began very slow but gained speed in February.Temperatures at Gulmarg are not super cold. It is generally milder than the toe-numbing frigidity of interior Canada and the USA. When the sun shines in Gulmarg you may notice how warm it is. Europeans would love to soak up the rays at the gondola mid-station, but unfortunately, there are no comfortable lounge chairs available for them.
Gulmarg Avalanche
Avalanche poses a great threat to those travelling in Gulmarg which goes to its extremes at times. An entire set of tools and their usage is standard attire required here. The main bowl under Gondola is the location under surveillance. One of the most significant challenges in Gulmarg is avoiding an avalanche triggered by many foreign tourists landing here.
Gulmarg Ski Terrain
Advanced and expert terrain are lumped together because the Gulmarg ski terrain requires competent skills wherever you go, and the difference between an advanced or expert line might be a matter of metres left or right. The main bowls under the phase 2 Gulmarg gondola offer fast lines down some spurs. There are even some patchy trees skiers right of the lift line above the mid station restaurants. A short hike halfway towards the summit where one may access the North and South Apharwat bowls via a traverse. They can also be accessed via the summit proper. The skiing here is sublime. The possibilities beyond the summit are endless.
