Season of non‑stop winter energy

From quiet slopes to festival mood

At first glance a ski holiday in the Altai Mountains sounds like a calm escape, but the reality on this resort is closer to a long, bright winter marathon filled with music and sports. In one trip a guest can move from early‑morning training runs to evening DJ sets without leaving the same valley, and the mood of the day changes with every new start line or show segment. Right in the middle of this packed schedule stands манжерок.рф, turning the idea of a quiet alpine break into a dynamic series of impressions. Crowds gather for races, families walk between venues, and every weekend brings its own highlight so that the season feels more like a curated festival than a standard week in the mountains.

Tip: when planning a trip, look at the seasonal program first and then choose travel dates around the races, concerts or family days that feel most appealing.

Sports calendar that never sleeps

The winter schedule is built around a dense line‑up of more than eighty competitions, bringing together alpine skiers, snowboarders and cross‑country racers over several months. National‑level events share the slopes with amateur starts, so in one week a visitor can watch elite athletes in technical disciplines and then cheer for first‑time racers on training pistes. This mix creates a lively rhythm on the mountain, because training, course inspection and award ceremonies constantly change the atmosphere in the base area.

Disciplines that keep the pace

Slalom, giant slalom, banked slalom, fun‑cross, jibbing and big air shape the core of the sports program, each drawing its own audience and style of riders. Freestyle fans gravitate to the snowpark with its big features, while families often choose fan races on more forgiving slopes where costumes, jokes and friendly rivalry matter as much as the final time on the scoreboard.

• Race days with national cups and championships.
• Amateur series that welcome beginners and local clubs.
• Freestyle events in the snowpark with photographers and music.
• Cross‑country starts that open forest trails to a wider audience.

Fun fact: some visitors build their vacation around a single race series, returning year after year to meet the same people on the start line and in the finish zone.

Après‑ski as a second shift

Once the lifts slow down, the second shift of the day starts in bars, restaurants and open terraces, where live sets and themed evenings take over the program. Guests move from slope to slope during the afternoon and then follow the sound of music to one of the après‑ski zones, choosing between relaxed lounge corners and more energetic dance floors. For many visitors these evenings become the true memory of the trip, because friendships, traditions and favourite rituals often grow not on the piste but under the lights of the base village.

Different locations carry different moods, which helps guests build their own nightly route instead of following a strict schedule. One night can mean a quiet dinner with a view of snowy ridges, on another the same travellers might end up at a themed party with costumes, giveaways and a crowded dance floor. In this environment the mountain becomes more than a sports arena and turns into a winter stage where people of all ages feel free to switch between roles of athlete, spectator and dancer in the space of a single day.

Family rhythm on and off the snow

While professionals chase points on steep slopes, families find their own pace in children’s zones, tubing areas and the nearby adventure park, where light shows and workshops replace gate training. For younger riders, the first experience on skis often comes during playful sessions, with instructors using music, games and simple tasks to turn technical drills into stories. Parents watch from the side lines, sometimes joining beginner races where the atmosphere is supportive and every participant receives a small prize or medal.

How one resort grows into a festival

Over the course of a single season this destination hosts so many formats that a visitor rarely sees the same program twice, even on a ten‑day trip. Sports, concerts, family days and themed weekends are woven together, and the name Manzherok appears again and again on posters for national cups, charity events and local celebrations.
