Kazakh pukhlyak – ski touring in Altai
Kazakh pukhlyak – ski touring in Altai
DECEMBER
Winter at these latitudes comes early – the first snow covers the ground as early as October or early November – that’s because Siberia is so close. And the “pukhlyak”, as the locals call the fluffy snow, sits light and airy for a long time on the slopes of the Altai Mountains. For these reasons, we chose to open the ski touring season earlier than usual with an incredible adventure in Central Asia in DECEMBER.

What Our Guests Say
Thank the snow gods, then thank Stan
The snow gods were kind this weekend — that's on them, not me. But Stan and the Basecamp Tours crew being absolutely dialled in? That's every single time, no asterisk. Smart route choices, safety that never feels paranoid, and feedback that actually makes you better. The snow is a gamble. Basecamp Tours is not.
