Gulmarg is the main skiing resort for the adventure lovers. Even the amateurs can enjoy the skiing with the ski lifts and chair lifts. The best season for skiing is from Last week of December (subject to snow) to March. The slopes in Gulmarg varies between 8,700 and 10,500 feet and are the highest in Himalayas. The Gulmarg gondola which is at an elevation of 3950 meters makes terrain more accessible than ever. Gulmarg is the world's third-highest ski resort and known around the world for its powdery snow runs. Its majestic Apharwat peak (4390m) is the longest ski slope in Asia. Ski town's endless slopes and fantastic snow conditions are reason enough to head there for a few days of skiing or snowboarding. The base of Apharwat is where it all starts. The mountain is split into two phases: Phase I is accessible by a Gondola. It connects Gulmarg to Kongdori from where you can ski down right back to the Ski village. Phase II, which can be reached on the gondola as well, connects Kongdori to the Apharwat peak. There is also a chair lift from Kongdori to Marry Shoulder, from where one can ski back further down to Gulmarg. A fine view can also be had of Nanga Parbat, the naked mountain which is over 26,000 feet and dominates the entire region. Down by the village, which is usually smothered under a thick blanket of snow with barely a patch of earth visible from last week of December (subject to snow) through last week of March, are the bunny slopes for beginners. These are wide and easy slopes and open through the day and also at night for night skiing. There are three button lifts along these slopes but long queues call for great patience during the peak snow season. Every year Gulmarg witnesses a huge crowd of skiers and snowboarders from all over the country and abroad, who can be seen descending upon the glistening slopes of the staggering Pir Panjal range in Kashmir.
