It was amazing experience. We go to exotic and cozy yurt in middle of mountain and enjoyed backcountry skiing. The snow at high portion of mountain was very soft and it's enough reward for uphill. Also, Alex has very good attitude and instruct skill of powder skiing for my husband.

Got to know Alex through recommendation of a friend who had an epic hike in Almaty, before I arrive Alex already helping me with my invitation letter for visa and picked me up from airport to have the best experience from the very beginning, really appreciated the warm hospitality through out the whole journey. Our hike planed for 3 days 2 night camping, due to the weather and our good luck ????we spent 4 days 3 nights in a luxurious emergency hut, the experience and beauty of the trip blow me away, the first day we started at 3200M, walking through gorges, rivers, tree line, descend 1000M was quite a good challenge for me, the place we stayed overnight was like a dreamland, stars in the night sky was beautiful...the 2nd day normally is the tough elevation day but it was raining heavily, and Alex made the wise decision to reach the second hut stay over, it was best for me I realized even more on the next day, while gaining elevation on different terrain. hike with the experienced professional mountaineer Alex, you are in a good hand,he always find great spot to stop for tea/snack with fantastic view, cooking is one of my favorite relaxing time, Alex is good chief, we shared stories and laughters, inspired by his passion and love towards mountain and Ski... 3rd day we reached 3945M, surround with Snow, Glacier, Moraine lake, gorge, high peaks... Was brethtaken and not sure if there is word can discribe the magic moment, I will try???? freedom, calm, healing, leveraged spirit&energy, soul cleansing,fullfiled with joy and greatfulness... 4th day we decend to big almaty lake... Honestly the trip was beyond my expectation, thank you very much Alex for your professionalism, very well organized and detail-oriented, knowledge/story sharing, positive energy, it was really a VIP private tour ????will definitely come back one day to try ski with you ????
