Ski Touring off the Beaten Track in Kyrgyzstan


Ski Touring off the Beaten Track in Kyrgyzstan
Pete Coombs goes off-piste – very off-piste – touring from a yurt in the remote mountains of Kyrgyzstan.
Written by: Pete Coombs
As I sip my soup in the warmly lit yurt I confidently describe our group of keen skiers as ‘experts’ to Pasha, our Russian ski guide. I am supremely unaware that I’ll soon be eating my words. It’s not without reason that I lay claim to our competence: between us, my skiing companions and I have tens of seasons under our belts. We’ve skied and ridden all over the world, attended avalanche courses and guided groups for the Ski Club of Great Britain. ....

The first winter ascent of K2 (8,848 meters), undertaken by a fully Nepalese team (with co-leader Nirmal “Nims” Purja summiting without bottled oxygen), has captivated viewers around the globe.
