The Suusamyr Valley in Kyrgyzstan is a beautiful and remote location ideal for winter sports. Snowboarders, skiers and adventurers explore the region every year to make the best of its snow clad mountains! A lot of unique snowboarding and skiing spots are difficult to access though. It takes a lot of logistics and a good guide! On this 8-day Suusamyr Valley guided heliboarding tour I will make sure that you make the most out of the amazing slopes in this breathtaking spot!
We will begin with a transfer to Suusamyr from Bishkek. Once we arrive, we will settle in and get to know the area and the guides. We will also have a safety briefing to make sure you know all the adequate techniques you will need on your runs! Then, hopefully we will have time to go on the helicopter for our first taste of the mountains! From then on, every day we will follow a similar schedule and we will spend the whole day out on the mountains either snowboarding or skiing! Snow, weather and group conditions will determine where we go. In the evening, we will return to our base. There, we will stay at the Too-Ashoo ski resort which also has a bar and sauna!
Some previous snowboarding experience will be necessary for this trip. Also, we require a good fitness level! Of course you will be able to perfect your techniques on the excursion and I will be there every step of the way to guide you.
Are you ready for a unique heliboarding trip in the snowy slopes of Suusamyr? Then book your place now and join me on this 8-day excursion in Kyrgyzstan!
You can also join me on an 8-day heliboarding tour in the Tian Shan mountains!

Based in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, I’m an IFMGA-certified guide and the technical director of the Kyrgyz Mountain Guide Association (KMGA). I'm also a certified mountain guide and mountaineering instructor, and a “Snow Leopard” — having summited all five peaks over 7000m in the former Soviet Union. I’ve received extensive training in Switzerland and I’m a certified rescuer (carrying out rescues up to 6800m).
Ski touring and mountaineering are my two biggest passions and I love sharing these activities with my clients. I specialize in high altitude and technical ascents, heliskiing, backcountry camps and avalanche courses.
I’ve stood on the summit of a 7-thousander more than 20 times — including Lenin, Korjenevskaya, Communism (Somoni), Pobeda and Mustagh-Ata, among others. I’ve also participated in ski mountaineering expeditions to Lenin Peak and Mustagh-Ata and several 4-thousanders around the world.
I’ve also been organizing my own avalanche courses since 2009 and was in charge of translating materials on the Russian risk reduction method Nivocheck. I speak English and Russian.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
