Brian Newman, the snow security official with the J&K organization, today said the torrential slide, which killed an unfamiliar skier in the "non-ski" area of Gulmarg on Thursday, had been set off by a gathering of skiers of which the departed was a section. He said there has never been a torrential slide passing in the ski region and nobody has ever kicked the bucket in the ski area of Gulmarg.

Newman, who is a snow forecaster with the Travel industry Division, said the examination concerning the occurrence had prompted the end that the torrential slide was set off by the eight skiers in the non-ski area of Gulmarg.

As indicated by him, there is a great deal of disarray and deception about torrential slides. "Torrential slides don't strike. Torrential slides are set off. Around 90% of the time torrential slides are set off by the people who are trapped in the torrential slide," Newman told The Tribune.

"What as a rule happens is that neighborhood skiers, who have become ski guides, and outsiders, who are knowledgeable about the game with large numbers of them global ski guides, favor backwoods regions for skiing. They normally leave the ski region that is overseen and go into the wild territory. There is more serious gamble here however they go there as they have abilities to deal with these dangers dependably," Newman said.

He said on the off chance that a gathering is continuing on such a territory, individuals ought to move each in turn as it will diminish the heap on a snowpack. He said in the event that they move each in turn and on the off chance that anybody sets off a torrential slide, others can protect him. "This goes in anticipation of the capable travel in this wild landscape," he said.

In the most recent disaster, there were eight individuals in a single gathering who were on the slant, all simultaneously, he brought up.

"Our Thursday's warning about the torrential slide was exceptionally exact," he added.
