It only takes twenty-eight hours and four commercial flights to get to Indian Kashmir. Big-mountain powerhouses Lel Tone and Lynsey Dyer will tell you that it is well worth the trip. An experienced Alaska heli-ski guide and Squaw Valley ski patroller, Lel is well versed in our North American ranges. Lynsey Dyer is a renowned American freeskier who has dominated the big-mountain competition circuit for years. Join Lel and Lynsey as they take on the world’s highest mountain system and add a notch to their belts for the Himalayas. While these ladies may stick out as assumed American sweethearts against this rugged landscape, they tackle these uncharted mountains with verve and fearlessness…leaving us to bask in their perfect first descents on some of the world’s most secluded terrain. When they aren’t up on Kashmir’s daunting peaks, they are down in Gulmarg’s pristine resort meadow, ripping turns with the locals and discovering common ground on the snow-covered mountainside. Although they are far from home, they find solace in the snow. As Lynsey explains, “[you can] come to someplace so foreign and still feel completely at home. Other people…may not speak your language. But, you can look them in the eye and know that they know how the mountains work. And so do you. And so, you have that bond.” The scenery will leave you speechless and the lines will take your breath away. You didn’t think you could go heli-ski in the Himalayas? Well, you can.
