KYRGYZSTAN: First Mountain Skiing Center Opened

The first skiing center was opened in the Suzak district of the Jalal-Abad region, - reports the information agency “Sputnik Kyrgyzstan”. It is located at the attitude of 1400 meters above the sea level, 30 km away from the city of Jalal-Abad. The skiing center “Markay” was launched on 16 December 2015, but just got to the full extent of its power.

The new center is equipped with three trails: two of them are for skiers and stretch for 250 and 450 meters, and the third one was created for snowboarders and tubing lovers (inflatable sledge); its length is 150 meters. The slopes are equipped with ropeway and night lighting.
