Half a century on one slope
Skiers built this resort themselves. To this day, every som it earns goes back into it.
- 1976
A ski club is founded at the Kyrgyzelektrodvigatel factory. Its members are engineers, geologists, architects and economists who share a love of the mountains.
- 1977
The club builds an 870 m petrol-powered T-bar lift with its own hands.
- 1985
A development plan is approved: a hotel, a double chairlift and supporting infrastructure.
- 1991
To keep the resort going, the Kashka-Suu Tourist Centre company is founded. Construction is finished and the resort opens.
- 2023
Snowmaking is installed from the top of the run to the bottom: over 2 km of pipes, pumps, 20 hydrants and 4 new snow cannons.
Getting here
30 km from Bishkek: 26 km on asphalt, then turn left before Ala-Archa Nature Park and drive 4 km on a dirt road.
In winter the road from the fork to the resort is cleared by snowploughs and gritted. It's wide enough for two cars to pass.
