ski slopes and mountain air

program itinerary

Day 1 Arrive at Manali. Transfer to Solang and settle into rooms. Ice breakers and group activities help the participants know each other better. This is followed by program briefing, expectation setting and introduction to the equipment and skiing gear.

Participants learn the basics of skiing – balancing, start, stop, different skiing postures, understanding the fall line on a low gradient skiing slope.

Day 2 Start the day with practicing the skills learnt the previous day. Learn turning techniques - kick turn & snow plough, walking uphill – herring bone & side stepping, skiing on flat surfaces and on the fall line. The day is spent maneuvering down a slope using all the skills learnt.

Day 3 Leave for a slope with a higher gradient and go over all the techniques learnt. Enjoy a picnic-style lunch in the snow and then continue to do full slope skiing. Evening games around the bonfire will be held at the hotel.

Day 4 Hit the highest slope with the steepest gradient of the program and practice new jumping techniques. Post a picnic-style lunch; participate in an obstacle course of jumps, turns and stops. A fun-filled exciting day! The evening is spent around the bonfire playing games.

Day 5 Post a closing session and some free time in the snow, the group gets to explore and shop in Manali. In the evening, leave for Delhi by bus.

We have received snowfall on these program dates every year since 2012 except for 2016. In case of no/inadequate snowfall on program dates, we will convert the program to a snow trek. We will take the participants to Sethan (15 kms from Manali) for a trek.
