In this video I'm snowboarding with some of the local riders here in Kashmir, India.
#india
🙏 This leaves me speechless. When my Dad passed he left me some money which I spent on the snowboard equipment delivered to Gulmarg. I could not think of a better way to honor the man who had been a 🏀coach to many young men. RIP, PDN ♥EDIT: I must recognize those who preceded me and those who created the budding snowboard culture at Gulmarg: Peter Robinson, Bashir, Manzoor, and Yusef of Ski Himalaya, and Kiwi Tim, who regularly hiked Affarwat before Phase 2 of the gondola was complete.
thanks for sharing this great story with us
I hope the video captured it, but the riders here are truly great ambassadors of snowboarding! The foundation you and others have created is vers strong!
Great video@@SnowboardProCamp and thank you for posting. Has me thinking next year for a reunion
Thank you for your initiative! 🙏
thats how you leave a legacy! ❤
Being brown growing up in Europe, I don't think I've ever seen another brown snowboarder.... To see that there is such a beautiful snowboarding culture in Kashmir is so heartwarming and am definitely looking forward to riding these lines!
We are out there snowboarding too, you just have to get into the right groups 🙂
Yessir we out here 🤝🏽
I lived in Leysin Switzerland , there was actually 4 brown snowboarders of various countries there . One was sponsored .
Watch less western propoganda news channels, brown people have even have observatory in North pole.
Mike Nixon is an old great friend and its so amazing to hear these guys give thanks to Mike for the help he gave them to start snowboarding. I heard many stories from Mike about snowboarding in Kashmir and its so nice to see these guys are so grateful to Mike!
Wow. One of the best videos I’ve seen. India looks amazing
Glad you liked it!
I never would have thought to travel to India for snowboarding.
It does look rather marvellous!
OMG ! Kashmir is a incredible playground…
Friends, powder and fun, best combo ! ❤
It’s got it all!
As a snowboarder of 25 years this makes me happier than anything to see the friends that can be made!
Absolutely incredible. Such a heartwarming story. The Local Snowboarders of Kashmir embody all of the best parts of our sport. Fantastic humans
woww india
india always surprises you if you watch western media and experience it yourself
Indian states that have snowfall are Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Arunachal pradesh which makes the area of combined Switzerland, french, Germany, UK, Belgium, Netherlands....so there are lots of mountain ranges untouched with pristine beauty. One should visit flower valley during summer...you will feel its more then heaven
Will have to visit in summer!
Love the love you're showing to snowboarders in countries like India! No one would've expected this
Bro it is like a dream😊the music 🎧 is perfect.… forget Switzerland.. This is INDIA the real INDIA
It was the most incredible day 🇮🇳
Thank you so much 😀
I am so glad you made it to Kashmir and hope you keep coming back! The people of Kashmir make a beautiful place all the more amazing!
WOW! That looks insanely awesome! Epic POW! The stoke of the locals is off the charts! I'd love to go shred with them!
It was great meeting u and the guys hope u enjoyed yourself .. see you soon again in India 🇮🇳🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome to meet you DJ!
@@Shred1904 it was really nice meeting you guys 🤘🏻🤘🏻 hope to see you again in India
Wow
Snowboarding in India is worth trying
I always believe the Kashmir has extraordinary potential of tourism, Now I am happy to see that People all around the world are exploring it. North east India is also one of hidden gems of INDIA in terms of tourism. That needs to be explored too. INDIA has potential to attract every single type of tourist, traveler, explorer if we uses even 80 percent of our total tourism potential. There is a lot of work that need to be done and I am happy to see that we are going in the right direction.
💯 ❤
That place looks absolutely amazing! 😍 Snowboarding above the clouds.
I’m on my way brothers. I’ve never had a place calling my name. Watching this video made me feel like at home.
you have to wait for next winter season.😀😀
The excitement of those dudes is just amazing.
Epic guys! loved the shout out to TJ! the community is awesome!
Anywhere there is a Sandbox helmet there is a BoardArchive fan!
Stunning footage! Amazing display of nature! Everyone seemed so happy! Great music too! I really enjoyed that 👏👏👏
Those untouched Himalayan lines just hit different 😍 so Cool to hear their stories. I definitely think it will be huge for this area what you’ve done by showcasing just how good the riding is there! In a place nobody would’ve thought there was even snow! I see a huge spike in riders making the leap to come out there in the coming seasons for sure!😁
India has like 55℅ of the himalayas so yeah plenty of places with snow, 5 states to be specific.
This is brilliant!!! The terrain looks so good. Great video
Yeah proud of my brothers.
Aatif Naveed 💜
the video quality is so good and the view crystal clear feels like I was been in those mountains. keep up the great work
What an amazing day. Get to re-live this forever now, epic video!!!
Best day of the trip!
Waiting for joining again in next winter and make a small park for free style 🤗🤗🤗
top 5 video of all time
Wow, thank you!
This looks like such an amazing time. It is so much fun being surrounded by peers with the same passion as you. Such a blast
This is jus awesome.. can't put it in to words the heartwarming positive vibes is wild 🙏🙏🙌🙌
Very heartwarming place!
We're are going there next year for 2 weeks❤
Absolute legend
I don’t know how to describe my feelings after watching my mates but thankyou so much sir.
Literally means a lot for us❤
Again thankyou so much
Hot ramen noodles on the side of the mountain, - talk about getting back to snowboarding’s roots!
That's Maggie noodles. Favourite of Indians😊
Snow like batter than Switzerland ❤India❤🇮🇳
This is why we watch your channel: Snowboarding in exotic and untapped places! #livingvicariouslythroughSPC
Keep up the great work!
Kevin should start a non profit and get gear donations going. You could ship a container full of gear for the locals.
lot has changed in kashmir and thanks to @michaelpeternixon for starting a revolution in kashmir Now locals can live a life away from instability and spread love and thank you kevin @SnowboardProCamp for showing the world about India and Srinagar
it has the california and japan trees
They are ancient himalayan birch tress ( white ones). There outer bracks were used for writing in ancient times.
We have a lot of Untocued mountains which have never been skiied. Basically
Our mountain ranges have a length of 700 km and only 10 km is used for skiing.
Fantastic vid Kevin. The local stoke is strong there with those guys!
That's amazing. I'm in Austria next week and the snow is going to be nothing like this.
If things go back to normal soon, you should check out the local snowboarders of Lebanon!
what a view and video. I am heading there next winters for sure.
Stunning! Great video Kevin! The only question remaining is.. whats the best way to get there?! :D
I belive we Indians are one of the luckiest people in the world, we can do almost any sport at a fraction of the cost outside and that also in our country because of the diverse landscapes it has to offer.
We have Mountains ,Valleys ,long rivers, Massive coastline ,Dessert ,Snow ,Rain and everything else.
Many a times we Indian's ourselves haven't seen our own country fully
My northeast trip is still pending hopefully I get to do it this year end or next year.
Btw how much time does it take to learn snowboarding and are there places to learn in Gulmarg??
Everyone learns at their own pace. You can learn in Gulmarg from Phase 1 and down to the Gondola. There's also a chairlift accessible from Phase 1.
And imagine, all that snow would not have happened if our sub-continent didn't swim across the Indian Ocean and collide with the Eurasian plate👍🏻
Wow !!
Heaven on earth 🏂
Man ima have to pull up to Kashmir now
bucket list x
For sure!
One of the most epic and panoramic Snow boarding videos I saw , take love man ❤🏔️❄️
incredible vibes and conditions are godly! what an epic crew we got to ride with🎉
Relaxing soothing what can I say, im preparing for my exams and this popped up when im completely stressed. Now I feel good. Thank you.

@snowboardprocamp Hey Kevin, when are you coming back man? I definitely wanna catch up with you. I have learnt snowboarding by watching your videos and I can do off roading and black slopes as well. I never got to catch up with you when i was in Europe for 7 years. Please let us know before you come to India again, this time I am gonna catch up with you. Your fan here!
this is beautiful man!! love it
perfect and kind video. I totally have enjoyed it👍🙏
This is so cool. I am born in canada but i have nepali roots. I snowboard in whistler every season and now i have a destination that truly calls to me.
I am interested in hearing your thoughts about the snow/terrain vs something like whistler BC
I did not even know the Himalayas had ski hills
SFK is love❤ all thanks to peter Nixon n others
Looks so sweeeet!🤙
Thank you for sharing this... After watching this I am going there the first chance I get...!! 😁
Hope you enjoy it!
Breathless views !
Good team.... Yeewww 🙃
The best!
Crazy cool man
wow such a nice experience 👏👏👏👏
looks epic
I’m Pakistani and am putting this one my list of places to ride outside North America. How can I get in touch with these guys if I make it out there
he left the IG handle on the video
Unless you're American or European you won't be allowed. It is what it is.
Especially in Kashmir, there is a special screening for people who come from Pakistan.
Maybe they allow you, slim chances though.
pakistani , that too in kashmir . no chance , you will be rejected in VISA list .
You need to have american or european passport brother the govt will not allow you with pakistani passport 🙂
@@cloudgaming4905 wrong.no chance. If his roots from Pakistan even he get amarican passport. But govt will never give visa for going to Kashmir.. but they can give visa other state but never give to for Kashmir .
This video is criminally underrated🫡
Loved this:)
Is it as snow sure as Hokkaido though?
we love to see it x 11
Any avi control going on there?
They do avi control in the green zone. Backcountry is at your own risk
Sucks you need a 20hr flight to find good snow these days...
MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!
What’s that green bally called
Yo! It’s a Coal balaclava
seems tough no maps no signs
Best
Lots of love ❤❤❤
Such positivity from these guys!
the skiing infrastructure and culture could have been developed earlier if it was not for insurgency by Pakistan and making that region unstable fuiling internal problems in the name of religion. just see how happy are people how good snowboarding tourism culture can develop without indulging into politics. i hope those who have seperatism mindset learn from this video and understand india is your homeland and please concentrate on making kashmir world's best tourist place instead of causing any trouble in the region
That religion thing and it's exploitation applies to India too. Indian central governments see and treat Kashmir as a trophy rather than a part of it. It sees Kashmir being with it as a representation of Hindu domination over a Muslim region. Things were quite good in Kashmir till 1990s and Pakistan existed even before that. So if you call yourself an atheist then look beyond Pakistan blaming stuff. There are other far bigger reasons.
Haven on earth
This is what it’s all about.
✌🇮🇳😎❤
Which month of the year?
This was in February

Bharat hindustan 🇮🇳🕉️🔱🚩
It will be nice if you can go there every year and train 20 or 30 small kids for a month and teach proper techniques and others can donate some gear
It is done every year
@@Shyek_14hmm it was the first time he went to india
