Flat plains east of Karakol Ski base Map

We took a local taxi to get up in direction of the ski resort and told the driver to leave us a bit before. It was a huge tour, pretty flat, but we wanted to see the snow conditions and how the land lies. Huge potential for skitouring bigger mountains. We got to a not-known summit at 2890m. and got down the same slope as the first day, had to climb up again on the way down but after all the way down to the city of Karakol!
