| Gulmarg is one of the highest lift-served ski resorts in the world. The skiing season in Gulmarg usually commences before Christmas (around the middle of December) and continues until the middle of April. In January-February, 1998 the first National Winter Games of India were held at Gulmarg for which the facilities were enormously improved and upgraded. The resort acquired two Kasse Bohrer snow beating machines used for preparing skiing slopes, and five snowmobiles which can be made available for going up the mountain. Good quality equipment, including skis, boots, poles, gloves and goggles are available for hire from the Government-run ski shop. There are also trained instructors available for guiding and instruction. Many winter activities can be enjoyed in Gulmarg, including heli-skiing, ice skating, sledding, skiing, and inner tubing. No matter your abilities there is something for everyone to enjoy. The most enjoyable aspect of a winter sojourn in Gulmarg is the friendly atmosphere.
