What to expect
Freeride below the treeline in the Zailiiskiy Alatau – spend your winter enjoying the snowy slopes far from the pistes and lifts!
We’ll ride new spots every day, focussing on couloirs, valleys and peaks below the treeline.
Almaty is a modern, bustling city situated in the foothills of the Tien Shan mountains. Its location means it offers almost unlimited possibilities for backcountry skiing and snowboarding within a short drive of the city.

We took a one-day skitour trip on 18th of December 2022. An overall experience was great. Especially, the fact that our group was split into two, according our hiking pace and skill. It allowed everyone to enjoy hiking and skiing. Despite the fact that there were no snowfalls in two weeks, Maxim had in mind one hidden spot with good snow conditions. We made about 750 vertical meters in total, so the run was long enough to get tired and feel GOOD. In addition to picturesque landscape, the safety was the the highest level. Thanks to FrozenRocks team for organizing that day.Great hike with my great tourguide Max. Dont miss it when you are in almighty Almaty. Max will provide you with everything you need!

I have done several 1-day backcountry tours with the Frozen Rocks team and each one has been excellent. Backcountry skiing outside of Almaty is challenging due to conditions and geography, so it is essential to have a good guide who knows the terrain and the snowpack. I highly recommend them for your outdoor adventures in Almaty and around Kazakhstan.Evey years I do 2 trips to the Almaty mountains and it is always beautiful. Max is an excellent guide. I recommend to all Europeans to visit Kazachstan and discoiver the beautiful scenery in this huge country. It is really worthwhile and totally undiscovered.
