a> rope tow and ski cat

b> heli

c> hike

d> all of the above

Unfortunately it's the ass end of nowhere so getting to the top might take some doing but it's Russia so it's cheap.

i actually have family there in the cacasus...i gotta get in touch with them. i saw these pictures last year of a summer camp for snowboarding on the hill. they had massive jumps and rails. looks super sick. but yeah skiing at 18,000ft might be kinda hard

summer skiing looks a bit sh*t - the ski touring review I read said something about sheet ice everywhere

ask your family what winter skiing's like and how much is lift served
