Zero Experience Required · 3 or 5 Days · From ₹16,000
Learn to ski from scratch on the slopes of Gulmarg. A private instructor takes you from your first steps in ski boots to linking turns — in three days.
The Adventure Packers beginner ski course is designed for people who have never stood on a pair of skis. No fitness test, no experience requirement, no minimum age limit beyond what is safe — just you, your instructor and the snow.
You start on the bunny slopes and stay there until you can control your speed, stop reliably and get up after a fall without help. That is the foundation. From there you move to longer runs and begin linking turns. By the end of a 3-day course, most beginners are ready for an intermediate slope. The 5-day course gives more time to build confidence and explore more terrain.
Morning warm-up and stretching. Equipment fitting at base — skis, boots, poles, ski wear and safety gear. You learn how to carry skis and walk in ski boots. First steps on the snow, the snow plough position for speed control and how to get up after a fall.
Side-stepping uphill on skis, side slipping across a slope, stronger braking with a wider snow plough, balance drills on gentle gradients. By the end of day two, most students use the ski lift for the first time.
Long turns, short turns, the duck walk for flat snow, mid-slope skills. Most beginners are ready for a first run on an intermediate slope by the end of day three. Course completion certificate awarded.
Days four and five build on everything from the first three. Stronger parallel turns, steeper terrain, more time on the ski lift and first independent runs on intermediate slopes. By the end of day five you ski without constant instruction.
