For advanced skiers, groups and long-stay students. 10+ days, Gondola Phase 2 access, professional-level technique and a programme built entirely around your goals.
The Adventure Packers Custom Programme is for skiers and snowboarders who want more than a fixed-duration course. Whether you are an advanced rider targeting Gondola Phase 2 and off-piste terrain, a group that needs multiple instructors working together, a family with a mix of skill levels, or a student who wants to train for 15 to 20 days -- we build the programme around you.
Custom programmes are priced based on duration, group size, skill level and package tier. Contact us with your requirements and we will send a full itinerary and cost breakdown, typically the same day.
You are already confident on intermediate slopes and want to push to Gondola Phase 2, off-piste terrain, mogul control, powder technique and professional-level carving. We pair you with Sheikh Bilal or Faizan Lone -- both FIS Athletes and National Champions -- for focused advanced training.
Schools, college batches, companies and friend groups of 4 or more. We deploy multiple instructors so nobody waits. Custom group itineraries are built around your dates, mix of skill levels and accommodation preferences.
Students who commit to 10 or more days see the most dramatic improvement. By Day 10 the best students are skiing Phase 2 terrain and beginning to understand the mountain rather than just the slope. If you have the time, the longer programme is worth it.
Parents and children, beginners and experienced skiers, all in the same group. We assign individual instructors to each person so everyone progresses at their own pace on the same mountain at the same time.
Building on the full 7-day Launchpad, an extended programme adds:
Phase 2 reaches 3,980 metres -- the highest gondola in Asia. Advanced skiers access ungroomed terrain, steep couloirs and powder fields that are closed to beginners. Your instructor assesses readiness before progressing to Phase 2.
Gulmarg receives some of the deepest powder snowfall in Asia. Off-piste riding requires completely different technique from groomed slopes -- wider stance, backseat weighting, independent leg action. We teach it properly.
Moguls are unavoidable on Gulmarg's steeper terrain. Advanced students learn to absorb bumps, maintain rhythm and control speed on mogul fields.
Short radius carved turns, high-speed edge control and race-line technique for students targeting professional or competitive-level skiing.
Sheikh Bilal holds 20 National and State Gold Medals and is a former Captain of the J&K State Ski Team. Faizan Lone has 10 National Gold Medals and has represented India globally as a FIS Athlete. You are not learning from a local guide — you are learning from champions.
Most ski schools in Gulmarg put you in a group and charge extra for private tuition. At Adventure Packers, every Silver, Gold and Platinum package includes a dedicated one-on-one instructor for every session. Your pace. Your feedback. Your progress.
Our structured, skill-driven sessions are designed to accelerate your learning. Students consistently reach levels in 5 days that would normally take two to three weeks at a typical ski school. The day-by-day programme below is not a rough guide — it is what our students actually achieve.
Sheikh Aabid is CSIA (Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance) certified. Every multi-day course includes avalanche awareness and mountain safety training on Day 6 -- knowledge that most ski schools in India do not teach at all.
Every instructor at Adventure Packers is from Gulmarg. They know every slope, every snow condition across the season, every safe line and every shortcut. That local knowledge makes your training faster and your experience on the mountain safer.
Skis or snowboard, boots, poles, ski wear, gloves, goggles and safety gear are all included in the Silver package price. You arrive, we fit you out on Day 1. No separate rental shop, no additional fees, no surprises.
Every Adventure Packers course is taught by a certified instructor who lives and competes on these slopes. When you book with us, you are learning from the strongest instructor team in Gulmarg.
