KASHMIRI PROVINCE, India – Despite India being rather mountainous, we don’t usually think about skiing in the South Asian country. Gulmarg, located in the Kashmiri Province, is one of few ski areas in the nation and, according to Faction, it’s the only proper resort.
Vasu Sojitra has been around for a minute, and there’s a chance you’ve seen his stuff before. But, for those that are totally clueless on this matter, Sojitra is a professional free skier and disability access strategist leading the world of adaptive skiing. He’s what we would consider one “certified cool dude”.
“Aikyam, ऐक्यम् – ‘Oneness’ in Sanskrit, is a fitting term for Vasu Sojitra’s ambition to understand himself and his family heritage in a deeper sense as he travels to ski in his home country of India for the first time. Gulmarg in India’s northern Kashmiri Province is the nation’s sole ski resort – where many skiers Indian and otherwise, come together in the plentiful snowfall this area receives in the Western Himalayas to pursue the fall line.”
