Yurt platform repair for 40tribesbackcountry
by Hullabaloo on Sep.13, 2011, under Spots
This summer was quite positive and full of different adventures over the mountains and other countries. So its gone pretty quick while I was chillin’ with the UNKLE, POMPEYA and Jamiroquai playing in my earbuds. Anyway the autumn is here, the time when you see great sunsets each evening and should take care of apples and sea buckthorn berries, apparently we don’t have anything else growing at our spot this year.
As you remember we had some cooperation with 40tribesbackcountry last season, we are also going to work together in upcoming season. I hope this thing will work for years ahead as it is quite a great experience for coming travelers and especially for locals. (continue reading…)

Karakol Mountain Ski Resort, skiing and snowboarding in Kyrgyzstan

Skiing and snowboarding at Kyrgyzstan, Karakol
One of the best ski resorts of Kyrgyzstan can be found while driving around Issyk-Kul lake. Karakol ski resort is the most preferable and large ski resort in the Central Asia. It’s altitude is 2300m and it is 7 km from Karakol city. The ski resort performs with a few chair lifts and runs of different levels of complexity what is good as for the professionals as for the beginners. The season starts in November and lasts until April. Those who prefer “freeride” or cross country rather than well groomed and predictable trials can range across the vast expanses of snowy slopes.
Karakol resort also performs with a terrain park (specially for those ones who are fond of freestyle) build in 2009/2010 season. The terrain park will be upgraded and a bit changed for the jib lines for the upcoming 2010/2011 season.
Some resort numbers and facts (due to date):
- Lifts: 4 char lifts
- Summit: 3040m
- Routes: beginner, intermediate, advanced, extreme
- Vertical drop: 792m
- Restaurant and bar: 1
- Cafe: 1
- Hotel: local resort rooms and 4 star Caprice hotel
- Terrain park with jib lines: yes
- Snowmaking: yes
- Nearest airport: Bishkek or Alma-Aty
- Backcountry and freeride capabilities: yes
- Heliski and heliboarding: possible on request (Feb-March)

Почти апрельский бэккантри по свежему пухляку

27 марта… утро… по ощущениям пришла весна, и уже должны цвести плодовые деревья и светить теплое солнышко, но! просыпаешься утром, открываешь свою тяжелую штору, которая полностью закрывает окно… и WTF? Опять, в который раз – все напрочь ЗАВАЛИЛО снегом!
Как же задолбал этот снег. Но где-то внутри еще живет желание катнуть заключительный раз в этом сезоне и отпустить зиму с миром. И это чувство решает все.. (continue reading…)
