AkBulun flat terrain Map

We were very motivated and took a bus from Karakol to AkBulun then started to ski tour up the south hill. Thing is it is very flat and very long hill before getting to the steep part. When we arrived there, we were very tired because of the 60cm powder to ski up in. At the end it was not steep enough to enjoy the way down and we had to go back on our tracks to follow all the way down. Failure.Maybe an access with horse to the steeper part ?Roxyandtommyontheroad
