Ski poles and goggles planted in summit snow above Gulmarg.
A waterproof jacket and trousers, thermals, a warm mid-layer, helmet, goggles, two pairs of waterproof gloves, ski socks, sunscreen and lip balm. Going off-piste? You’ll need a transceiver, shovel and probe, and to know how to use them. If you don’t own any of this, we rent it.
Make sure your travel insurance covers skiing, snowboarding and mountain rescue.
