Freeriding at the Vilyuchinsky Pass
The Vilyuchinsky Pass is one of the snowiest places in Kamchatka. The most impatient freeriders arrive in October, when first snow hasn’t even fallen in the city. Height difference is rather small, it’s 400 m, but freeriding is interesting there: in couloirs and a forest zone. Even a beginner will find a suitable spot!
Riders are taken to the slope by snowmobile. They will have 5–6 rides. We ride for 3 hours and return back to the cars.
