Description

Type: Multi-day activity
* This place is known for its early and heavy snowfalls. In seven days, we will visit all the popular locations of this place, and we will find a variety of spots, ranging from steep and fast couloirs to huge fields in the mountains. We will ride along the steep couloirs in the vicinity of the station, the kurum fields at the foot of the Tigertysh ridge and the endless mountain fields on the slopes of Stroiteley Peak. The height difference is from 300 to 860 meters. Here you will not find snow trucks, cable cars and other mechanized lifting equipment, only backcountry. We do all the ascents on foot (snowshoes, skis, splitboard). You will enjoy not only the descent along the untouched slopes, but also the ascent among the picturesque landscapes. Dates in the 2024-2025 season. December 16-22; February 18-24.
