Forget the crowded slopes of the Alps. Kyrgyzstan skiing redefines winter adventure. Here, the snow is dry. "Champagne" powder falls deep across the Tian Shan mountains. The mountains are vast, the air is thin, and the tracks you leave are often the only ones. This is when Kyrgyzstan ski touring begins to reveal its true character.
Your Kyrgyzstan Ski Touring Base Camp: Exploring Kyrgyzstan Ski Resorts
The most famous is the renowned Karakol Ski Resort. Picture carving down a forested trail. Snow sprays your goggles. Ahead stretches the deep blue of Lake Issyk-Kul, framed by jagged white peaks. Even in winter, this "Hot Lake" never freezes. With 20km of slopes and a vertical drop that commands respect, Karakol offers the infrastructure of a modern center with a distinctly exotic, Soviet-retro charm.
Kyrgyzstan Ski Touring Go Deeper: The Call of Kyrgyzstan Backcountry Skiing
For skiers who want more freedom, Kyrgyzstan backcountry skiing opens access to silent valleys. Kyrgyzstan backcountry ski touring is your chance to earn your turns in pure powder. Away from the major resorts, these vast areas are where the true, untouched character of the Tian Shan reveals itself.
