Woohoo! Our own backcountry yurt camp based in the gorgeous Ak-Suu gorge! Endless slopes for advanced and intermediate skiers and snowboarders, full board meals, daily hot sauna and so much more.

Feel the unique pleasure with our yurt based living backcountry experience in Kyrgyzstan. Only in winter and only 65 days starting in the end of December.

The fabulous Aksuu gorge where we set up our yurt camp provides an unlimited amount of gorgeous lines and slopes with around 3ft. (90cm) of pow! National and custom menu foods, professional guides and a really hot banya (sauna). Snowmobiles to explore the distant areas and mountains. Total absence of civilization, yep not even a mobile network coverage. Relax and explore the backcountry letting us take care of everything else.

Usually the fun happens this way:

Day 1 you arrive to Karakol or Ak-Suu village in the early morning, we meet you up and the same day you are at the yurt camp with your gear. Meal and welcome drinks and you can have a rest or explore some closest slopes.
Day 2 – till the day out: touring, exploring new slopes and ride, ride, ride! Last day: morning touring, packing and leaving to Ak-Suu village

We highly recommend arriving to Bishkek in a couple days before the booked yurt staying date. In this case you will have 1 day to explore Bishkek and 1 day to arrange transport and travel to Karakol.
