The village of Terskol

Recently, in the mountain village of Terskol, hotels began to appear with enviable constancy. Sharply increased the number of various private hotels, as well as all kinds of inscriptions in a foreign language (many, by the way, contain very funny mistakes). Even there is such impression that you are abroad.

Cable car

Terskol is a ski resort that is equipped with a cable car. The cost of a daily subscription is seven hundred and fifty rubles. People who have already rested here, note that the cable car is automated, which is very convenient. But sometimes there can be various force majeures. For example, at some point in the box office may not be a season ticket. As a result, a person must first purchase one-time tickets, and then a permanent one.

Contactless ski passes, which are freely removed from the pocket, are also poorly developed here. Tickets have to be pushed into the slots of readers, which is not very convenient, especially when in the hands are skis and ski poles. It is good that next to the turnstiles there are always controllers, who in case of what they can slip their unlimited subscriptions into the slot.

Alpine skiing track

Terskol - ski resort, which is equipped with a special route. Once there was one of the most interesting descents, formed by a stream. Descending on it, you could imagine that you are inside a mountain. However, at the current moment this descent was leveled and smoothed by means of a bulldozer, as a result of which the ski slope became smoother. Although, of course, we must give credit - it is really comfortable, the snow-ice cushion has been rolled since the fall. This advantage is noted by almost all people who have already visited this resort. Therefore, many prefer to go here, despite the fact that in the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria ski resort is not alone.

The second stage

There is a ski resort in Terskol and the so-called descent of the second stage. And, by the way, recently it was improved. A narrow gutter was constructed with turns of a closed type. Approaching him, you never know what awaits you around the corner. Unfortunately, as a result of this, one of the highlights of the track - "goat track", which was always a kind of stumbling block for snowboarders, was lost. On this site you can always see who skates well, and who does not know how to do it. Now there is a wide tractor road, again perfectly aligned.

There is, however, another option - to rent equipment at the rental station, which is located next to the ski lift. Boots and skis there can be left for the night, and completely free. In this case, you can live far from the ski lift, this will not give you much inconvenience, but the budget will save you a lot.
