West Altai: a first look

What the West Altai is like for a first freeride trip - cold, quiet and full of untouched lines.

The West Altai is continental cold, quiet, and full of untouched lines. For a first trip, here is what to expect.

Getting there

The route runs through Ust-Kamenogorsk and Ridder, then 4x4 and snowcat to camp. Getting here is already part of the adventure.

The riding

From forest lines to open cirques, there is somewhere to ride in different visibility and snow. Small groups mean more untouched terrain.

This is placeholder copy for the prototype. Real articles and photos are managed through the CMS and media.json.
