WHAT IS CURRY POW?
Essentially for skiing and snowboarding the snow is said to be ideal when it is powdery – while these conditions are present in the alps and other places in the world facilitated by big fancy ski resorts, they fall heavier on the pocket. The younger ski and snowboarding community of the world are on the lookout for more budget friendly destinations for fulfilling their rides of deep slopes in just the right powder and India offers exactly that. Curry Pow the title was chosen specifically for this feature as it is used as slang by the international fraternity of skiers & snowboarders who come from all corners of the globe to experience the powder snow in Gulmarg and Manali in India during the winter season. Discover the passion and determination behind skiing and snowboarding from the lens of two homegrown talents Arun Shashni & Tashi Dorjee, in Gulmarg & Manali.

/ PEOPLE
OF CURRY POW
The skiing and snowboarding community in India.

Tashi Dorje

Skier & Igloo Architect

Tashi is a self-taught skier and a cook who runs a home-stay inn, and an Igloo project in Manali. As with Arun, Tashi too has worked with some of the biggest international mountain expeditions, giving him exposure to the evolving winter sports phenomena in India. Nowadays, he runs his home-stay which allows him to make money to fuel his other passion for skiing. Tashi was seen in our original feature "Curry Pow".

Arun Shashni

Snow boarder

Arun is a self-taught snowboarder who moonlights as a DJ. Earlier, he has assisted as a guide on some of the biggest mountain expeditions with international mountaineering crews, allowing him to hone his snowboarding skills. Today in his early 30s, he loves snowboarding so much that he self-finances the pursuit of the sport through his deejaying. He featured in our original feature "Curry Pow."

Lubov Shatalova

Snow boarder Photo grapher

“I thought it’s going to be a great time, we were going to go to Gulmarg in any case and if someone is interested in how we spend our winters, that’s nice! I think Gulmarg is a unique place in the world because – there are no local villages in Gulmarg, it’s completely for tourists. During winter, all people can think about is the weather, the snow conditions and what’s it going to be like on the mountains. There is no conversation about news from abroad, no politics, no tension! People are only concentrated on riding. The best feeling with snowboarding is that it keeps me in the moment. There is no past, no future, no problems, no stress. Just the mountains and me, and that I should simply go down.”

Luke Smithwich

Snow Safety Officer

“I’m the Snow Safety Officer for Gulmarg– I work here at the Ski Patrol doing continued education, mountain development, avalanche awareness and snow safety as well. Our main issue here is awareness with the public, with avalanche safety in the backcountry outside of the ski area. That’s what we’re working on now. We try to teach people about Companion Rescue – the people in your group are the ones who are going to save your life, so think about that. Is your group sober? Are they clear minded? Are they sharp for the day? Are they ready for the objective? Are they prepared? Do they have everything they need? If one of those factors isn’t there, don’t do it. No matter how much we care about the mountains, they don’t care about us. So it’s good to approach the mountains with an objective mind.”

Kristoff and Britta

Skiers

“We are from Austria – Tiny little Austria, neighbour of Germany. Much smaller than Himachal Pradesh. We started Heli Skiing when I was 50 and he was 61. We would always go Ski Touring, we always wished to ski one nice slope, once more, again. But we were too tired to walk up again, and never strong enough to walk up fast. Now we are retired since long and now we just spend the winter season here and our summer season in New Zealand.”
