Fortunately, Sheregesh hotels offer conditions for different categories of tourists, and the climate is consistently snowy from year to year.
October November
Nobody knows the exact date of the season opening at this time. But it happened more than once that they started skating in Sheregesh at the end of October. The official opening is most often scheduled for the last or the penultimate weekend of November.
So, planning a trip in advance for the end of autumn, you can get on a good powder with a high degree of confidence. It is also better to book a room in advance, because as soon as the season officially opens, for all hotels it is the beginning of the high season, and prices go up.
December
There is already a lot of snow in Sheregesh in December. All tracks are available, freeride and whatever your heart desires in terms of skiing.
True, the end of November - December is the high season. Snow-hungry riders from all over Russia come to Gornaya Shoria, and you can't really count on discounts in hotels.
Also in December in Sheregesh quite sensitive frost is possible. And although it is usually warmer on the mountain than in the village, you need to be ready to warm yourself.
New Year and New Year's holidays
Peak days of the season, maximum parties and fun. By the way, on the 30th, 31st and 1st on the mountain it can be quite a bit crowded, but after that the real excitement begins.
The most expensive accommodation in the season falls on these days.
Separately, we will highlight these dates: the New Year's week and the week after new year holidays notable for the fact that the resort is calm. People are either preparing for the holidays, or are drawn into the work process after a break.
Quite attractive offers from hotels can often be found for these dates. As for the climate - there will be snow for sure, but with the temperature anything is possible - cold can hit, after all, we live in Siberia.
January February
Low season in Sheregesh. You can count on relatively inexpensive accommodation. But at the same time, you need to closely monitor the weather. You can get into excellent powder and warmth, or you can get into snowlessness and frost.
End of February - March
Again the high and "velvet" season in Sheregesh. The probability of powder is not so great, but the temperature is much more comfortable.
Accommodation prices are high, but despite this, the given time There are many tourists during the season, the queues are long, many come with families.
End of March - April
The most mountain beach time. Swimwear, tanning, GrelkaFest and more.
At this time, it can easily rain in Sheregesh. Quality skating is out of the question, freeriding is impossible or extremely dangerous.
So a vacation in April is a bit of skiing and a lot of parties. The prices are quite affordable, because the middle of spring is, according to the hotels, the low season.
June July August
Summer for Sheregesh is also a low season, perhaps the lowest of the year. But tourists still cannot do without.

Why do fans of active winter recreation most often choose Sheregesh?
Sheregesh is a beautiful corner of the earth in Siberia located at the very foot of the huge Zelenaya Mountain. The resort is known both in Russia and far beyond its borders. Here you can ski down from four mountains, but the most popular among vacationers is Zelenaya Mountain.
The whole complex for active rest and skiing on this mountain is divided in two large sectors. First sector A- this is the main part of the resort. Here, to your taste, you can choose any of the nine tracks, with different lengths and widths. You can climb to the very top of each track using one of eight lifts. If the weather does not allow skiing on trails with natural snow, you can go down with artificial snow.
Vacationers to the very top of the mountain can be delivered by pair-chairlifts made of ropes. One of these roads is protected from snow and wind with special protective caps.
Children in this complex, under the strict guidance of experienced instructors, can learn to ski. All the necessary equipment can be purchased in special stores that will start working when the 2020 season opens. There are hotels with all amenities, as well as cafes and various eateries.
After the opening season, traditional snowmobiling will take place as well. Young people can attend a disco or a party. For those who like extreme sports, you can ride on an unsettled track or visit a snow park.
The health of tourists will be taken care of at the local first-aid post, where a doctor is on duty during the day. The rescue service will protect you from various troubles.
Here you can rent a snowmobile, both adults and children, at a reasonable price. You can also spend time at the horse yard.
When is the best time to relax in Sheregesh?
There are many who like to ride in bitter frosts, which are normal in this area. But most vacationers try to get to these places in November or April, when the weather conditions are milder. In November, there is a holiday of the opening of the ski season, which in itself is a very interesting and entertaining event. If you do not have a rest during the high season, then the prices at this time are much lower.
How to get to Sheregesh faster in order to catch the opening of the ski season?
Mountain Shoria(it is here that the Sheregesh resort is located) is a developed agricultural region, and transport links here are at a fairly high level. Despite all these advantages, it is not so easy to get here.
One of the possible ways to Sheregesh is Railway... You need to go to the Kondoma stop. Then drive another eighteen kilometers by taxi.
As for car enthusiasts, there will be no inconveniences, that is, it is possible without any problems to the very final destination. You need to go first to Krasnoyarsk or Novosibirsk, and then stick to the route to Kemerovo.
There is one more way - by plane to get to Novosibirsk or, and cover the remaining distance by taxi.
Many, along with the question of when the season opens, are interested in where to stay. It should be noted that there are many hotels of different categories here. The cost of housing, first of all, is connected not with living conditions, but with its remoteness from the mountain.
The opening of the 2019 season prepares the guests of Sheregesh for more high prices for all services. As for the rest, practically nothing has changed here: the same tracks, a lot of skiers in this picturesque Siberian corner. It will be interesting for both a calm person and an extreme. Everyone will find something to do and relax for themselves.
Snow fell in Sheregesh, which means that fans of active winter holiday can already prepare skis and boots for the new season. Kuzbass ski resort- one of the most popular in the country and one of the closest to the Altai Territory, so it's a sin not to visit there at least once. But before you set off to conquer Mount Zelenaya, it will not be superfluous to find out about what to do at this resort and how much it will cost.

If you get lost in Sheregesh
It turns out that it happens. Carried away by skiing from the mountain or while walking in heavy snow, people roll out to the left of the mountain slope into the forest in the area of the reservoir or to the right - into the valley of the Karasu River. In such a situation, it is best to go back in your tracks, even if it's hard. It is imperative that you have a charged smartphone with you: with it you can navigate by geolocation or by previously downloaded maps of the area.
If you could not get out on your own, call the rescue service 112 or directly to the Sheregesh rescuers - 8−903−985−9948 ... Until 6 pm, they serve the tracks and only go out looking after this time. But they can help you find your way directly on the phone.

How to get there
Bus and car transfers are organized to Sheregesh. For those who know how to use a search engine, finding them is not a problem. Also, do not forget about such a useful thing as BlaBlaCar.
There is no direct flight from Barnaul. If you go to public transport with a change in Novokuznetsk, you will not be able to get to Sheregesh right on the same day, you will have to spend the night somewhere. You can try to go through Belovo. The bus from Barnaul leaves at 21.50, arrives at 2.55. From Belovo to Sheregesh you can buy a ticket for the Novosibirsk - Tashtagol bus, which leaves at 4.40, arrives at Sheregesh at 9.46. And a very strange option is to go to Belovo on the same bus, then change to a bus to Novokuznetsk, and from there get on the morning flight at 6.40 to Sheregesh (the same Novosibirsk bus).
The easiest way to get there is by car. The distance along the highway is 460 km.
You can watch Mount Zelenaya in Sheregesh.

Festive events dedicated to the opening of the 2017-2018 ski season in Sheregesh began traditionally. Rescuers, firefighters and other municipal employees lined up on the approach to the roll-out of sector A. Near the Finish cafe, the shamans kindled a sacred fire and casually dropped that they could summon snow clouds for an inexpensive price.
Aman Tuleyev missed the opening, but conveyed his greetings and wishes of all the very best to everyone. After the officials spoke, the snowmobilers suddenly started up, spoiled the air with exhaust gases and rushed off into the distance.
Against the background of blue air and snowmobiles moving upward, tourists and everyone present were presented with Shor creativity. The "I love Sheregesh" snow hydrogen bomb flew to other competing ski resorts.
Of the expected new objects of the ski infrastructure in Sheregesh, not a single object has 100% readiness. The lifts have been built, but not yet commissioned. And some of the new ones announced have not even been completed. The Gubernskaya Hotel opened the second building, but it will start receiving guests only closer to December 20.
Suddenly, near the water protection zone, the staff of the Sheregesh tourist center ( ) foreigners were seen in the amount of at least 4 people. Being vigilant for the presence of a threat, we interviewed foreigners in broken English about their place of birth and the purpose of their stay in Sheregesh.
It turned out that the inhabitants of India and England do not pose any threat to the water protection facility and are learning to ride in Sheregesh.
One of the most prepared trails with a minimum set of stones and bushes today is the lower section of trail 15 along the Bulochka lift.
And at the top you will be waited by the rescuers who have raised the pirate flag. What is it for?
Between major cities Siberia and Sheregesh during the winter season, a regular bus service.
