Hi guys.
I’ve been skiing for around 12 years. Traveling to ski in as many wild and wacky places I can.
I’ve been in touch with Ryan at 40T and we’ve got a group coming together but are looking for one or more people to make a 5-7 day trip probably commencing around the 15th of Feb 2012. If you’re looking to make a trip and meet some new people I’m sure we’re in the same boat. Please contact Ryan to discuss details.

I have been living in Bishkek on and off for the past 4 years and have done a fair amount of bc skiing here. I live in Alaska when I am not here and have been skiing a long time now. I use a Dynafit set up these days, and am up for skiing anywhere, anytime anyplace over the next few months. I will be out of town (Gulmarg, Kashmir) for all of Jan but will be back to Bishkek early in Feb. I would love to do some multi-day trips, and day trips from Bishkek are good too. I have a beacon, shovel etc.

Great new site, 40 Tribes! Thanks for your help recently to link-up people so we can do a mixed avalanche class and backcountry (BC) trip from the yurt in early 2012.

I’ve been a snowboarder in Washington state for years but recently bought a BC ski setup for using in Kyrgyzstan. I never thought I’d go back to skiing but it extends my options for riding with family and friends of differing skill levels at the wide variety of “ski bases,” snow, and terrain here. I want to get into the BC as much as possible this winter (2011-12) around Bishkek, Karakol, wherever. I’m happy to be in touch with people needing another person or two for trips with 40Tribes, or if you’re looking for a dawn patrol partner around Bishkek (btw, I barely speak Russian. Much better with English and Spanish).

I telemark ski in the Idaho and Montana bc. I ski at Sun Valley and Big Sky when seeking a resort. I will have an avalanche course taken by the time this trip takes place. I am full time telemark and have been for 8 years. I have skied twenty-two years. I am an avid single speed mountain biker and run marathons. Bogus Basin is my home mountain outside of Boise and it is simply bad ass. $199 season pass and excellent terrain twenty-five minutes from my doorstep. It is a challenge to not get over 40 days in a year. I came across this opportunity because of social media. I want to go alone because I need to. I have a great life and want to open a new chapter with a far off ski trek being the first sentence.
