Ski Resorts in Kazakhstan
Welcome to Shymbulak....
There is apparently only one ski resort in Kazakhstan, just outside the old capital of Almaty. It's called Shymbulak and like many ex-Soviet resorts has just one long chain of chairs.
The base station is on the left, the chair can be seen crossing right to left, in this summer time photo of Shymbulak.
