Shymbulak Ski Experience

It takes only 30 minutes from Almaty city center to reach the ski resort, Shymbulak Ski Resort, which is very convenient and not crowded. I highly recommend everyone to go. Here is my experience After arriving at the ski resort, the first thing to do is to go to the ticket office to buy tickets, including snow field tickets and cable car tickets. If you are a beginner and want to find a coach, it is best to book in advance, because there are fewer coaches and more people, and there may not be enough coaches, so you may have to queue up; after buying the tickets, you can go to the snow field to rent ski equipment, but it is a bit more expensive than the city's snow equipment shop, but it is not as exaggerated as in China, but overall it is very convenient. After buying the tickets at the ticket office, you can go to the beginner's field - children's field from the back door; the beginner's field, the slope is very, very gentle, and the coach even disdains to take you to this field for practice; after the beginner's field, the quasi-intermediate field, the slope is slightly steep, it is best not to go directly without a coach for beginners, it is easy to hit confidence. Note that there is another place for ski enthusiasts to go up the mountain, near the beginner's trail, no need to squeeze the cable car with others.
