@snowboarding_khanAbout Gulmarg Snowline
Ski and Snowboarding School since 2012
Gulmarg Snowline was founded by Junaid Mushtaq Khan, known on the mountain as Snowboarding Khan, alongside co-founder Aatif Bashir. Junaid has been guiding and exploring these mountains since he was eighteen — years spent learning the terrain, the snow, the weather and every side of Gulmarg.
That is the knowledge the company is built on, and it is what we bring to every lesson we teach.
Welcome to our home turf.
The People Behind Gulmarg Snowline
Aatif Bashir
Co-Founder · Snowboard Instructor
Aatif has been snowboarding since he was fifteen, and the board is what he knows best. He teaches riders from their very first day on the snow — stance, balance and edge control — through to linking turns confidently on the steeper terrain and deeper snow around Gulmarg.
@snowboarding_aatifOur Team
We've handpicked experienced, passionate and respected local instructors and mountain guides. From beginner slopes to the powder of Apharwat and the backcountry terrain around Gulmarg, our team chooses the right experience for your ability, your goals and the conditions on the day.
What We Stand For
Local Knowledge
Our local knowledge is second to none. We know Gulmarg not just as a ski resort, but as our home.
Whether you're looking for ski lessons, snowboarding lessons, powder skiing or backcountry terrain, we'll help you experience Gulmarg like a local.
Safety
Safety is our primary concern. The mountains are unpredictable and every day in Gulmarg is different. We follow responsible procedures and make decisions based on weather, snow conditions, terrain and your ability.
Our goal is to give you the freedom to improve your skiing and snowboarding while understanding the importance of mountain safety. From your first lesson to more challenging terrain, we put safety first.
Social Responsibility
We're a company with a conscience. Adventure tourism should create opportunities for the people who live and work in the mountains. That's why we support local ski instructors, snowboard instructors, mountain guides and other local professionals, and why we want to help build long-term careers within Gulmarg's growing ski tourism industry.
We also ask our guests to respect the local community, the culture and the environment. When you choose a local company, you're not only experiencing Gulmarg with people who know the mountains — you're supporting the local economy.
Sustainability
Gulmarg's mountains are our greatest asset, and we want them to stay special for future generations.
We encourage responsible travel, respect for the terrain, and an adventure industry that is properly regulated and gives local people a real future. The future of skiing and snowboarding in Gulmarg depends on protecting the environment while creating meaningful opportunities for the people who live here.
