The northern resort on Etna was open when I lived there (however, stay on-piste or you might do a face-plant due to the very shallow snow covering lava pumice). The southern area (Refugio Sapienza?) was being damaged by active lava flows (2001).
Hey there, fellow snowboarding enthusiasts! I just wanted to share my amazing experience of staying in Gulmarg for 2 months in 2011, and shredding some of the most breathtaking slopes I've ever encountered. The beauty of Gulmarg is unparalleled, with its snow-covered peaks and untouched wilderness. As a snowboarder, there's nothing quite like carving through the fresh powder and feeling the adrenaline rush through your veins. But beyond the incredible terrain and stunning scenery, what really made my time in Gulmarg special was the people. I met some of the most welcoming, hospitable locals who showed me the true essence of Kashmiri culture. It was humbling to experience firsthand their resilience and strength in the face of adversity, and I left with a newfound appreciation for the importance of community and connection. So to anyone considering a snowboarding trip to Gulmarg, I cannot recommend it enough. Not only will you have the time of your life on the slopes, but you'll also come away with a deeper understanding of the world and the incredible people who inhabit it. Also, if any of the friends I made during my time there happen to see this comment, please don't hesitate to reach out! I would love to catch up and reminisce about our amazing experiences in Gulmarg. Keep shredding, my friends!
@ I did use chatGPT because English is not my first language, but the story is true, my warm hug to the instructors and team that was part of this adventure and to all the kids of you are there! Send a message!
So you missed Mount Hermon, a bunch in Iran, some more in Lebanon, a couple in Iraq, and Algeria for sure. I once many years ago as a naive teenager had the idea to ski in every country with a ski lift for natural snow. Then I discovered how many countries that was, and there was no way in hell I was visiting some of them.
Yes, this is the famous inflatable mount cyprus, which acts during summer as not less known cyprus hill, where great concerts of old school rap are held.
@@Br0nkeN not a ski lift, just a tourist (trap) cable car. Ski in Teide volcano is tricky, very rocky, and not all areas are allowed. You'll be risking a fine.
You showed videos of mt Olympus in New Zealand when talking about Greece. Mt Olympus and all the club fields in NZ are worth talking about in another video
Nice video and stoked to learn about these places. Watch out though you have a clip showing Whistler Blackcomb speaking about European resorts! hehe but I might be the only one who noticed and it doesn't really affect on how rad the video is. Great work for the travellers!
Cool video, never would have thought you could ski north Africa! I am curious though whether the footage shown was accurate for all the resorts? It looked like decent powder in India if so!
I worked at Afriski in Lesotho for 2 winters, and can confirm that the footage is correct. However the offpiste footage is very rarely that good. It only snows that much every now and then. Having said that, it is a blast and I highly recommend anyone with the opportunity to go there, to give it a shot. It is truly a unique place
The most interesting resort that I have been to is probably Malcesine/Monte Baldo at Lake Garda in Italy 🇮🇹 Malcesine is a Picturesque village with a beach, but on the town square you can take a gondola 🚠 to 1.450m above sea level. When you’re up you’ll find yourself at the base station of a ”large” ski resort. Probably the best place to own a home. You can swim for 4-5 month and ski for 3-4. Probably can enjoy the food and view the 3-4 month in between 😎
Mate, i can tell you that whilst i love skiing up Ben Lomond, you dont often get 3 months of season. Its cool when its on though. Also they way you said "Tasmania" and "Lomond" made me chuckle, so thanks for that!
1/28/23 Yet another new winter storm is slamming into the Aloha State, bringing another round of heavy snow to the Big Island of Hawaii. Due to the heavy snow, the National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a Winter Storm Warning for portions of Hawaii Island. Just one storm in January 2020 dropped 2-3 feet of snow on Hawaii Island and created snow drifts that were far deeper. Another storm in January 2021 brought snowboarders and skiers out to the mountain by the dozens. A blizzard hit the Big Island last December, guaranteeing a White Christmas there for 2022 just weeks ago.
Learnt to ski at Troodos, Cyprus in 1978. My bindings were too loose one morning so dropped into the cafe and asked for a screwdriver. Ended up with a vodka orange!
Well it live w20 km away from the first ski resort in Greece and most beautiful, and less than an hour away from another 3 and Olympus also. Try visit em and you gonna love em.
Ski Dubai is a blast! It was on my bucket list. The first runs seem soooo unreal. It's 90 degrees outside and I am skiing!?! But then it was just a nice day of easy skiing - it's a green/blue run. It's just steep enough at the top to get up some speed and make some nice turns. What's really great is that it's open until 11 PM. So, you can have a full day at the beach or ride camels in the desert, have dinner, and then ski for a couple of hours. Not s bad day! It's located in the Mall of the Emirates, a huge Dubai mall. You walk past Vuitton and Gucci stores and then go inside Ski Dubai. It suddenly feels like the base lodge of a small area. People are "clomping" around in ski boots. You can rent all the gear - skis, boots, ski suit and gloves. You go through two sets of sliding glass doors....and suddenly it's freezing cold! There is a toboggan run and penguin area. There is a big 4 passenger chair and a small poma on the side. The chairlift runs very slowly, so it takes a lot longer to go up than go down. The snow, as you would expect, is perfect packed powder. I saw a bunch of hot-shot kids running gates - it's steep enough for that. The coach said the kids's parents live there, but go to the Alps in the winter. You can also see the windows of the Kempinski hotel that overlooks the slopes. They have "chalet suites" decked out with fireplaces and look like a sleek Swiss ski hotel - quite bizarre. Anyway, I recommend it highly. It's not challenging - obviously. But then there is no fear of blizzards or avalanches!
@@menacenameddrako2227 - true, but sometimes the snow is actually pretty good. It ain't Aspen. It just gives you bragging rights. How many people can say they skied / snowboarded in Hawaii?
So how does Cyprus grow and shrink throughout the year? From December to January it reaches almost 2000m! That must cause a lot of problems with earthquakes and what not.
@@mountain_sight right now we have around 80cm of snow and the rental place is down for renovation so only people with their own equipment. Best times 😀😀
@@mountain_sight no no,never the weekend 😀 whole Cyprus comes just to fuck with the snow and use the lift for fun 😀 weekdays are empty and in the winter we don't really work so plenty of time.
Only Tasmania in Australia? We have a few in Victoria, Falls Creek, Mt Buller, Mt Hotham and the best here, is Perisher, in New South Wales Australia, I think. I hate the cold, I’ve been to the snow once in Victoria Australia, and froze lol. 🥶
What the video states is that Afriski resort has one of the only “snow-sports park” in Africa, which is an area with small kickers, rails and boxes. We know there are plenty of ski resorts in Africa. Sorry, if we weren’t specific enough in the video.
@@mountain_sight actually I think you did name them all. Afriski and oukameidan. Algeria used to have a small ski area but I don’t think it operates anymore.
My friend Jimmy Petterson has written two giant-sized coffee table books called “Skiing Around the World” Vol 1 & Vol 2. Awesome books. He has skied more countries than anyone in the World: 75 Countries, all 7 Continents. I’m at 50 countries, all 7 Continents myself. Stoked on Skiing forever, both of us.
You could have included the Riksgränsen resort, Sweden. There is nothing special with skiing in Sweden, is there? Well, at this particular place you can ski under the midnight sun and THAT is unusual! The resort usually closes in late May and they get the midnight sun from around the 22nd of May.
@@sandersson2813 I wouldn't call it _many_, but sure: There are some more. I know Riksgränsen normally stays open as a ski resort after the midnight sun appears, that is why I mentioned it. By all means, there are some places in Finland. I don't know of any along the Brroks range...
The Copen Hill might be good for skiing, but if you were to fall you will definitely get a lot of pain and possibly break something! The terrain is just millions of plastic straws!
I knew people who went skiing in Turkey. In fact there were locals who would put your chains on for you for $10 (at the time). I'm a klutz with tire chains and would gladly pay for a service like that.
How about honorable mention Mount Baldy in Southern California 10,064 above sea level on the edge of the desert literally looking down to the Pacific Ocean and millions of people in Los Angeles... super steep runs we skied from mid-December until mid-may this year
What the...? Now you're telling me the wombats are WIRED?!!! (5:13) Have they been up all night because of the skiers? Haha. Maybe you meant 'weird'...?
Tasmania is definitely NOT known for surfing and sandy beaches . Tasmania is known for Apples , Tasmanian Devils , Thylacines , inbreeding and Russell Robertson and Jeremy Howe .
That's afriski. Worked there a season myself as part of the snowmaking, park and instructing crews. Cool experience if you ever have a few days to kill in Southern Africa.
It’s definitely known for its sandy beaches. Some of the best beaches in Australia are there! Tasmania also has the best big wave surfing in Australia 😉
There are other ski areas in Africa beyond Lesotho... you mention this later in your own video?? Skiing on Mauna Kea is not a resort. Sometimes you just get lucky and it snows there.

Australia has better ski resorts in new south wales in the snowy mountains region.perisher is in that region and is the largest ski resort in Australia
You can't take a rental car up Mauna Kea. Many people say screw it and do it anyway. But if you damage your car up there (eg. burn up the brakes while going downhill) or get stranded and the rental car agency finds out you were up there, you will be solely responsible for all of the damage and costs and not your credit card CDW or personal auto policy since you violated your rental agreement. Do you feel lucky?
Another one: mount Etna, Sicily. Literally skiing on a vulcano :)
Wow that sounds awesome!
The northern resort on Etna was open when I lived there (however, stay on-piste or you might do a face-plant due to the very shallow snow covering lava pumice). The southern area (Refugio Sapienza?) was being damaged by active lava flows (2001).

The lodge shown on Greek MT Olympus is actually the ski hut at the Olympus ski field in New Zealand!!!
some of the footage is clearly reused from one place to another !
Hahaha!
@@fToo the snow too!

Sounds like you were an adventurous kid! Did you manage to visit some unusual places with a ski lift?
As an Iraqi Canadian I didnt even know there were ski resorts in Iraq.
It's a 7 minute video. He's gonna miss a couple.
Hi there I spotted my content here (Gulmarg). The least you could do is to credit all of the footage being used.
I’ve skiied in 2 of these places they’re both great and I’ve actually been skiing in Lesotho quite a few times
Cool! Which one have you visited?
Is tifindel still operating?
@@mountain_sight in Lesotho and in Dubai
Lesotho - the only place you can ski and get eaten by lions.
"From December to February, this place reaches 2000m in altitude" So wait, in the summer the mountain shrinks ? XDD
Could be a glacier
@@roboticfuzzball179 I don’t think it works like that 😂
no, it grows in the summer
Yes, this is the famous inflatable mount cyprus, which acts during summer as not less known cyprus hill, where great concerts of old school rap are held.

There is a ski lift on Tenerife up to mount Teide. There is barley any snow there ever, but when the conditions are right it's skiable 😇
Wow that’s really unique! Have you been there?
@@mountain_sight i did take the lift up there around 10 years ago, around new years. The only snow they had then was old icy snow.

I think maybe he ran a punctuation stop sign between "February" and "this".

It’s artificially generated speech, it’s not a real person
Great informative and original video!!!
Another exotic skiresort is Tochal in Teheran Iran. It goes up to 3850m
That sounds quite exotic! People don’t think of Iraq as a place with ski resorts. Thank you!
North Korea as well
That’s an interesting one as well. Guess not many people have been there
Iran*
Pakistan afaik as well
Nice video and stoked to learn about these places. Watch out though you have a clip showing Whistler Blackcomb speaking about European resorts! hehe but I might be the only one who noticed and it doesn't really affect on how rad the video is. Great work for the travellers!
Cool video, never would have thought you could ski north Africa! I am curious though whether the footage shown was accurate for all the resorts? It looked like decent powder in India if so!
Footage is accurate - Gulmarg in India is almost 3000 meters above sea level, which means tons of snow despite its location in India
I skiied in Gulmarg 3 years ago and there were days when the powder was too deep to ski. Seriously.
I worked at Afriski in Lesotho for 2 winters, and can confirm that the footage is correct. However the offpiste footage is very rarely that good. It only snows that much every now and then.

Tank you for this great videos
Thank you for watching!
very proffesional video, good work!
Thanks! Appreciate your support
Gulmarg has 14 m of snow which is a tonne and the terrain looks good as well. Cheers
It’s amazing!
Interesting. At one time you could also ski in the tropics in both Bolivia and Taiwan but those areas disappeared many years ago.
Is there a ski resort in Taiwan??
@@jeksixten5751 I believe there was a tiny ski area back in the 1970s but it’s long gone

You can ski also on Etna active volcano in sicily
Mt. Hermon Israel.
Interesting! Thanks you mentioning!
You can't take a rental car up Mauna Kea. Many people say screw it and do it anyway. But if you damage your car up there (eg. burn up the brakes while going downhill) or get stranded and the rental car agency finds out you were up there, you will be solely responsible for all of the damage and costs and not your credit card CDW or personal auto policy since you violated your rental agreement. Do you feel lucky?
Someone teach this man how to use OBS
Not only have I heard of Lesotho, I can pronounce it properly
