From January 15 to 17, 2026, the state enterprise Ala-Too Resort, in cooperation with domestic and international partners, will host a large-scale freeride tournament—one of the most spectacular and extreme disciplines of alpine skiing.

January 15 will be dedicated to preparation and training. At the Karakol ski base, athletes will take part in training sessions and workshops focused on safety techniques, avalanche awareness, and proper conduct in off-piste conditions. Participation in these activities will help competitors better adapt to the local environment.

January 16 will feature the main competitions, held directly on the territory of the under-construction resort “Ala-Too Resort”, located in Jyrgalan. Participants will showcase their skills on natural terrain with significant elevation changes and technically challenging sections. Athletes from Kyrgyzstan and approximately 20 countries worldwide will take part in the tournament. The competitions will be held in three categories:

• Beginners
• Professionals (Men)
• Women

The main objective of the event is to promote Kyrgyzstan as an attractive destination for winter and extreme tourism, demonstrate the region’s potential, foster the development of freeride in the country, and create an international platform for experience exchange among athletes.

We invite all ski and snowboard enthusiasts to become part of this exciting event!
