Big Mountain Time

Well guys and gals, the snow conditions at our yurt spot are awesome! Check out the new photo report right here.

Давно не писал… заработался. Но вот все работы переделаны, все планы осуществлены до нужного уровня, и, можно ехать в каракол и готовить склоны к наплыву братии из казахии. Под подготовкой склонов я имею ввиду отдельные куски парка – трамплинчики и железяки.

At last. A good storm came to our local places and we got a good snowfall in Chui valley and even in Karakol. I think that Too-Ashuu is also got a good portion of this white flakes.

You will be able to test some of this stuff this weekend.

What is a good ski/snowboarding resort? Well first of all it is good routes, lifts, accommodation and services. Karakol mountain resort has all this and I must say that this is the most attractive and good resort in Kyrgyzstan and maybe in CA.
