First riding day in this season

What the hell? I can see some snow in the mountains, is it much or not I should go and check it by myself. 3 days of snowing should cover all mountains with at least 30cm of powder, but unfortunately it wasn’t really much.
Some local mountains
Some disappointment fell into our hearts when we came to Kizil Beles ski base and saw that there was just about 10-15cm of snow. More of all the ground was still soft and warm and it was thawing. The ski base was not ready to take visitors and the lift was not working this day.

But it was not a problem for us. We found an average size wood panel and build a small kicker to practice some jumps and rotations. It was a good day, but feet walking up to the hill for a 20 seconds of riding makes you feel very tired after about 50 times. And the big con of this day is the soft ground which has been so sticky so we had to clean the board base after some turns made.

Tested my new burton custom which got some scratches and now ready for the huge and hot season 
The riding day was on Nov 10th. At this point (1 week after) the weather became too warm and we have about +8-10 C there. Hope we will see a good snowfall soon.
