Out for a last Hurrah with the Boyz before the big wedding day. Jeff Yates decided he wanted to spend his bachelor party in the North Idaho backcountry atop Roman Nose.

Whatever the draw, it is clear that for many folks glade skiing is the holy grail of Ullr’s winter domain.   Pristine view from the trees at... » read more

Hopefully there will be some decent information for those looking to conduct their own trips to Gulmarg and I have absolutely no problem with people asking me questions, even if you were not interested in one of our trips. I’ll always try to help anyone going to Gulmarg for the first time, as I’ve done before; it’s good to have any advice if you’ve never been... » read more
