Powder Nomads

🏔☀️ МАЙСКИЙ SKI TOUR CAMP НА КОСМОСТАНЦИИ
Три дня в больших горах | 1.05 - 03.05

Когда в городе уже в самом разгаре весна, наверху всё ещё по-зимнему холодно и снежно.

Там, где рассвет встречают на камусах, снег шелестит под ногами, а первые лучи солнца подсвечивают линии, которые ждут своих героев.

Powder Nomads приглашает принять участие в весеннем скитур-кэмпе на Космостанции с базовым лагерем на перевале Жусалы-Кезень. Здесь сезон можно продлить по-настоящему ярко и красиво.

Три дня жизни на высоте 3350–4000 метров среди ледников, ветра, снежных вершин и разнообразных маршрутов.

Будем ходить и катать линии в окрестностях пиков Турист и Туран, ловить горный вайб, выходить на маршруты с рассветом и наслаждаться каждым спуском, заработанным своими силами.

Что тебя ждёт:
✨ интересные безопасные маршруты с опытными лыжными гидами
✨ катание в больших горах и весенний фрирайд
✨ лекции и практика по лавинной безопасности
✨ экскурсия по научной станции изучения космических энергий
✨ уютный высокогорный домик и вечера в кругу своих
✨ кинопросмотры, разговоры, музыка и весёлая семейная атмосфера
✨ фото сессии в лучах заката над Алматы
✨ настоящее отключение от города и перезагрузка

Этот трип для тех, кто уже знает или хочет попробовать вкус весеннего сезона. Когда встаёшь очень рано, чтобы поймать идеальный снег. Когда устаёшь телом, но отдыхаешь от мыслей. Когда несколько дней в горах ощущаются как маленькая новая жизнь.

📍 Локация: Большое Алматинское ущелье / Космостанция
📆 Даты: 1-3 мая
👥 Группа: 5–8 человек
🎿 Для лыжников и сплитбордистов с уверенным уровнем катания и хорошей физической формой

Our guest Nikolay - an experienced skier who had never tried human-powered uphill skiing before. From the very first steps, he adapted quickly, figuring out skins, kick turns, and efficient movement uphill. It’s always inspiring to watch someone embrace a completely new way of moving in the mountains and making progress so fast.

Spring conditions guided us to higher altitudes, where the terrain is more challenging and every move counts. Luckily, having spent a few days in the mountains prior to this, we were already acclimatized, which allowed us to move faster and enjoy the process rather than struggle with the altitude.

Over two incredible days, with a day of rest in between, we explored two very different valleys, each offering its own unique scenery. From gentle high meadows to steeper alpine terrain, every turn was a reminder of how rewarding spring skiing can be: soft, forgiving snow at the top, slushy but fun at the bottom, and light-filled skies above.

These days were about more than just skiing. They were about learning, adapting, and embracing the rhythm of the mountains. By the end, it wasn’t just about the runs. It was about the experience, the shared moments, and the joy of catching perfect spring conditions in a way that few get to.

Some trips stay with you long after they’re over.

The kind you replay again and again, the ones that fill you with energy, lightness, and that feeling of celebration you can’t quite explain.

A few more moments from our winter freeride journey in the Ore Altai,
shared with an unstoppable, life-loving crew from Italy always ready for new adventures, always open to discovery.

May this snow celebration never end,
continuing to gift us those simple, pure moments of happiness, the kind that feel like childhood again.

We’ll be waiting for you to come back! And grateful, as always, to Altai for its endless snow, its power, its beauty and its magic.

A great experience with the team from Germany - exploring two different areas in the Altai Mountains.

First place felt more infrastructured, easier access, smoother flow. Then we moved deeper into a more wild and remote terrain, where you really feel closer to nature.

Different conditions, different landscapes, but the same spirit all the way. Most of the time human-powered. Step by step, earning every turn.

We tried catskiing once (first but not the only for the team), but in the end… ski touring stayed the favorite.

Glad we made this trip happen.

Always inspired to share these moments with the right people.

Exploring the sacred corners of the Kazakh Altai is never only about mountains, snow or ski touring. It’s a multi-layered adventure into raw wilderness, remote villages rarely touched by tourism, ancient nomadic traditions and shamanic beliefs… and, somewhere along the way, into your own inner cosmos.

Together with our guests from Italy and Ski Maestro we immersed into the wild beauty of Katon-Karagai National Park - a place where winter still lingers, where the world feels distant, and silence becomes something you can truly hear.

And through all these days, we were held under the watch of the goddess Umai and the sacred Belukha Mount. Her twin white peaks shimmering in the distance,
quietly sending us her blessing and protection.

Thank you to our guests for the trust and the courage to travel this far, to a land full of mystery, hidden deep in the far East of Kazakhstan.

A day adventure with JG and our guide Alexander

JG landed from Japan to explore our region. We picked a location close to the city with very early start. Within an hour, we were skinning up the valley. Perfect weather let us spend the whole day in the mountains, and a light breeze kept the snow from melting.

JG mentioned that back home he usually does shorter touring sessions, and today was his longest so far. We even found some great snow at the top in the late afternoon. Back in the city with tired legs and happy faces - what a wonderful day we had!

More backcountry trips on higher altitudes ahead, stay tuned!

In the beginning of March we had the pleasure of hosting our guests from the UK Rupert, Miles, and Xan.

Rupert and Miles are good friends, sharing the same calm and easygoing approach to the mountains: no rush, just enjoying every turn and focusing on quality lines. And Xan, Rupert’s son, brought a different energy: young, motivated, and always looking for something steeper, deeper, and more playful.

For seven days straight, they kept going cat and snowmobile skiing every day, exploring terrain, chasing conditions, and making the most out of every lap. No shortcuts, just pure dedication to being out there.

Three different personalities, one shared goal: to explore, ride, and enjoy every moment. That balance of friendship, experience, and energy made this week truly special.

THANKS to the crew and our guide Alexander for this wild and live Altai Mountains experience in Kazakhstan.💪🏼

That was a true alpine experience for the whole crew who came straight from Italy to discover what winter in Kazakhstan really feels like.

A tight group of friends from the same hometown moving as one unit. From the very first meters of skinning it was obvious: strong engines, good technique, and the right mindset. No warm-up days needed. They were ready to go deep from the start.

The mountains didn’t make it easy.
Day one: snowfall, wind, flat light. Proper welcome.
Then came the bluebird skies… and -30°C. The kind of cold that freezes your beard, your gloves, and sometimes your thoughts. But that’s also when the snow turns into pure magic.🪄❄️

Cold smoke. Stable layers. Endless options.
Conditions like this allow you to open the map a little wider and choose “special” lines, the ones you remember long after the trip is over.

Almost a week of touring sessions, climbing in silence, sharing thermos breaks in the cold, dropping one by one into untouched faces. No rush, no ego, just mountains, friendship, and strong skiing.

Every stage of the adventure went smoothly. Challenging weather, freezing temperatures, changing visibility, none of it stopped the team from enjoying each day to the fullest.

This is why we do what we do.
To connect people with wild terrain.
To create stories that stay longer than the frostbite.
To share our home mountains the right way.

Grateful to make it happen 🤍
