Gubakha

Pros: great ski resort, great trails, we had a lot of fun!
Cons: Elena from 'rental service A' was not polite. Don't waste your time on 'Snow trike' - waiting time is too long and not to much fun.

The coolest ski slope in the Urals. Really normal slopes, not children's slides. There are difficulties with snow, but this is more for Mother Nature than for the owners. In short, I recommend it.

Ski center Gubakha. Perhaps, at the moment, this is the most controversial ski I have ever played. From the point of view of infrastructure: there is somewhere to eat, and there are several points, and it’s no problem to find accommodation here. I was in the Teplushka cafe, an ordinary canteen for a quick lunch. But the route was frankly puzzling: the slopes are positioned as freeride, there are no complaints, there is a lot of snow, and it’s interesting; There are frankly no prepared slopes, the snow groomer looks like it was there a very long time ago, and not to say that they are broken, they were just formed out of nowhere. For example, you are accelerating along a slalom track and at some point bumps appear like on a mogul... it’s interesting, of course, when you have experience, but beginners regularly fall. My conclusion is that it’s definitely worth coming in any case, to get acquainted with the route. Look very carefully at the weather and the presence of snow, for example, at the end of December there was little snow, many of the equipment was damaged by stones, and in February, for example, there was a lot of snow. Those who are inclined towards freeride will definitely find pleasure, those who are accustomed to prepared trails... not for everyone. For myself, I definitely decided, especially 350 km away, to ride through the forest; I’ll go if there’s something besides the gurney or an interesting and grandiose event on the mountain. AND

Cool place
