BILL
When the gondola first opened in 2005, Bill was there. Bill was employed by the Jammu and Kashmir government to manage the avalanche hazard and train the local ski patrol. He has been patrolling for 20 winters and has skied all over the world preferring places not yet discovered by the masses.
Bill is one of Australia's best know skiers. Over the years he has featured on many magazine covers, in documentaries and written numerous articles on new destinations, avalanche safety and backcountry skiing. When not guiding in Gulmarg he is the assistant director of the ski patrol at Mt Hotham, Australia.
His passion for backcountry skiing and out-of-the-way places drew him to Gulmarg where he now calls home for the northern winters. During his time there, Bill has formed great friendships with the locals and is well respected in the community. There is no one better to introduce you to the magic of Gulmarg. |

DAVID MARCHI
When Dave isn't heli-guiding in Alaska or backcountry guiding at home in California he is most likely guiding people somewhere else on the planet. He has lead ski and climbing expeditions all over the world including Mt Denali, Antarctica, Patagonia, the Himalaya and New Guinea. Before life as a guide Dave was a ski instructor and race coach for the U.S. Para Olympic team. David also spent the winter of 2006 in Gulmarg passing on his years of experience to the newly formed Ski Patrol.

A world class tele skier, Sam has achieved podium finishes in Big Mountain free skiing events in the US and New Zealand.
