Top Snowboarding Spots in Kazakhstan

I think it’s worth trying the local food at the lodge. The prices are reasonable and it’s a nice way to recharge between runs. Just don’t expect fancy dining!

I suggest you check the weather before going, especially in winter months. It can change quickly, and a sunny day could turn into a snowstorm. Bring layers so you stay comfy all day

If you’re planning to go snowboarding or skiing, check the weather the day before. We got some fresh powder and it made all the difference, but it also increased the crowds, so go early!

I recommend getting a ski pass for multiple days. It saves you cash in the long run, plus it lets you explore all the slopes without stressing about daily payments.

Skip the ski school if you're already an intermediate or above. The group classes can be long and waste your time. I wish I had just hit the slopes instead!

I suggest you hit the slopes early, around 9 AM, to avoid the crowds! I went around 10 and it got super busy. You'll have more space to enjoy the runs.
