NZski

NZSki doesn’t just conquer peaks at Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, and Mt Hutt—they help others rise to new heights. Their annual commitment to Skis4Kashmir goes beyond gear donations; it’s a promise to keep changing lives, season after season. By providing skis, boots, and unwavering support, they’ve become the benchmark for what meaningful corporate partnership looks like.

When you see NZSki’s name alongside our cause, you’re looking at more than a sponsor—you’re seeing a team that truly understands the power of snow sports to uplift communities. Their reliability and passion have helped Kashmiri guides and rental startups turn donated equipment into sustainable livelihoods.

This is the kind of partnership that creates ripples of impact. If your company believes in adventure with purpose, follow NZSki’s lead—because when the snow settles, it’s not just about the runs we’ve skied, but the lives we’ve changed together. Join us. Be the next force for good.

Split'N2

Richard Harcourt, founder of SplitN2, isn’t just donating gear—he’s donating expertise. As a master engineer and splitboard designer, he’s invested countless hours training Kashmiri partner Mushtaq Magray during his 2024 NZ visit, sharing critical repair and workshop skills that will ripple across Kashmir’s growing ski economy.

But Richard’s vision goes deeper: he’s committed to helping WildSnow establish permanent repair hubs and, when the time is right, local ski manufacturing—laying the technical foundation for true self-sufficiency. For SplitN2, this isn’t charity; it’s about equipping Kashmiris with the tools to build their own future on the snow.

Snow Scene

When it comes to supporting Kashmir's growing ski community, Snowscene leads with both gear and heart. Owner Terry has outfitted our initiative with professional-grade Montana ski grinders, tuning vices, snowboards, poles, and other essential equipment from his Tokaanu-based shop near Whakapapa.

These aren't just donations - they're tools of transformation. Each piece carries decades of mountain knowledge, ready to service Kashmir's slopes. From precision edge work to base repairs, Snowscene's contributions are helping build professional standards in the Himalayas. Their ongoing support reflects a deep understanding that real change happens when you equip people with proper tools and trust them to create their own future on snow.

Cedex

As a leading NZ steel importer, Cedex understands what it takes to build strong foundations—and that’s exactly what they’re helping us create in Kashmir. Owner Paul McDermott applies his logistics expertise to secure and coordinate container space for our ski shipments, ensuring gear reaches the Himalayas efficiently.

But Paul’s commitment extends beyond steel: when unable to join two WildSnow tours he’d booked, he selflessly converted them into direct donations rather than canceling. It’s this innovative thinking—repurposing resources to maximize impact—that makes Cedex such a valued partner. Their support proves that even industries far removed from snow sports can play a vital role in empowering mountain communities.

Powder Hounds

At Wildsnow, we have a valued partnership with Powder Hounds, a reputable tour operator specializing in snow adventures. Powder Hounds offers our exhilarating tours to snow enthusiasts worldwide, showcasing the incredible experiences we provide. While we appreciate Powder Hounds' support in promoting our tours, we encourage individuals to book directly with us.

Snow Mania

When Mushtaq visited New Zealand, the Snowmania team didn’t just offer advice—they opened their Christchurch workshop as a classroom. As seasoned ski techs and rental specialists, they provided real-world training on equipment maintenance, retail operations, and waxing techniques that are now being replicated in Kashmir’s budding ski hubs.

Beyond knowledge-sharing, Snowmania walks the talk: they’ve stocked Sheen wax , turning every customer purchase into indirect support. Their involvement proves you don’t need to be a multinational to make a multinational impact—just a passionate local business willing to share what you know.

Snow Ride

Owner Richard didn’t just let Mushtaq observe—he gave him the keys to the workshop. During Mushtaq’s New Zealand training, Snow Ride became a living lab where Kashmir’s skiing future took shape. On state-of-the-art tuning equipment, Mushtaq mastered advanced repair techniques Himalayan guides have never seen: precision edge profiling, base welding, and modern structuring methods that turn battered skis into high-performance tools.

This wasn’t charity—it was investment. Snow Ride’s willingness to share proprietary knowledge reflects their belief that raising global ski standards starts with empowering one technician at a time. The strategies Mushtaq learned here are now being adapted for Kashmir’s unique conditions, creating a new benchmark for mountain craftsmanship.
