3 weeks before we arrive yet our bags are already packed and snowboards tuned and waxed.
Can anyway tell me what the cover is like and is it yet possible to ski down to Tangmarg?
I read of the good dump last Sat Jan 4 and believe there is another good dump on it’s way.
We continue to do our snow dances here each night in Australia and hope it is a good season for all.
We are staying in one the J&K Tourist huts from Feb 2 – 23, come and say hello.
kind regards to all,
Neil and Eamon

From newspapers Dec 21 – a report from ski-resort in Gulmarg: “was under 4ft of snow while its upper reaches-Affarwat and Kangdoori-amassed two more feet of snow and reels under 6 to 7ft of snow”. Also the Srinagar-Jammu highway was opened for two-way traffic.

Thank you kindly. We have already booked for the month of February so I suppose it is a case of what is there; is there. And whatever is there I am sure we will enjoy.
Greetings to all Gulmarg locals and we (my nephew Eamon, and I) look forward to meeting you all in February.
kind regards
Neil

Prediction is somewhat partially right/wrong. Had a talk with two hotel reception. They both agree that more than ft of snow fell. Regarding the standing snow, one hotel stated that more than 2.5 ft was there while the other stated that more than 3 ft was standing. Skiing is stated to start in a couple of days. However even this type of prediction is desirable as very few accurate predictions are available. Neil, The best way for gulmarg temperature I think would be to see temperature of srinagar and factor temperature drop due to higher elevation by about 3400ft.( Roughly 6-7 degrees).

I don’t get it. How can there be snow on the ground when the forecasts are saying up to 10 C for the day’s high temp?
