    Nice video! One of the better, self-produced docs on Gulmarg that I've seen. Just love the positivity in everything you talk about. Show's you definitely love Gulmarg. Awesome!

    Great video/diary. I skied there in 2008 and am finally going back there in 2016. It's an amazing place that's for sure. Can't wait

    Thanks. It is typically advanced. Although there is a beginner area in the village and a little bit of intermediate skiing from the first stage of the gondola to the village it is predominately advanced due to limited grooming and back country skiing.

    Hi, guys. Awesome video. I'm from Russia and taught English, therefore I don't understand what you're saying. Although I'm not sure that's English. But the video is just beautiful, your riding, the mountains, how they were chosen music. Thank you very much, I will repeatedly go back to this video. She is an inspiration.

    Hi James. Most importantly is get your accommodation sorted. I organised mine about 6 months in advance. Second is a guide. However if you are going to spend a few months there that will all fall into place. At the moment there really isn't any ski/snowboard shops so bring your own gear and any parts you think you will need. As I stated in the video if you are there for some time get s guide on and off during the whole time. But you may only need one one average once a week. Enjoy it ally is a special place.

    Bring all of your own gear. Currently rental gear is limited and designed for beginners in all disciplines. I can't remember the name of the hotel we stayed sorry. Most accommodation is basic but adequate. I loved it

    Glad you enjoyed it. Used GoPro 3+. LUMIX ft5. A simple but good tuff camera. Chose that camera as at the time it was one of the only waterproof cameras with stero sound recording and also a Panasonic video camera. Though currently updating everything as I find I would like better sound to cut all of the wind noise. Post production and all colour correcting was in final cut x. Hope that helps.

    • @jamaalahmad
      @jamaalahmad 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rebecca Massey You can go up and tour from there. Once you are up you can traverse left and right. You will experience many ridges and bowls. If you got good energy in you, you won;t get chance to ski a ridge again. it is;t a slope where you climb and ski back again and again.

    Great sound track. Loved your never ending positivity too. I'd be interested to know what your average cumulative vertical feet of skiing per day was as it looked like a fair amount of effort and time to get the top. Either by gondola or walking. Finally - your missus doesn't have a twin sister does she? I could do with a girl friend who skis that well. Just sayin'
