As KS was told in the Department of Investments and Strategic Development of the Kemerovo Region, the start of the 2017-2018 winter season in Sheregesh is scheduled for November 17. Siberian ski resort will welcome guests with new lifts and hotels, as well as a thermal center. However, as noted by the authorities, large-scale investment projects are not yet expected.
The administration of the Tashtagol region "KS" reported that on November 17, the first deputy governor of the Kemerovo region, Vladimir Chernov, will arrive at the resort. Note that the head of the region, Aman Tuleyev, for the first time in the past five years, will not take part in the celebrations dedicated to the start of the winter season. Among other events, Mr. Chernov will open the reconstructed substation "Zelenaya", which should solve a number of problems with the power supply of the adjacent territory. Also on Friday, the Gubernskiy apart-hotel for 28 main and 20 additional beds by Novokuznetsk businessman Georgy Lavrik and the Thermal Center on Mount Zelenaya, built by Novosibirsk businessman Konstantin Burtsev, will start operating.

“A little later, at the end of November, we will introduce a hostel for 90 places of the Alpen Club company (investor from Nizhny Novgorod- "KS") and a sports-type hotel "Shoria Port" ", - shared head of the hotel for tourism of the administration of the Tashtagol region Nikolay Ovchinnikov. It is noteworthy that the hostel is the first project of Alpen Club LLC in the economy segment of the hotel business. Previously, the Novgorod company specialized in apartments. “The need for budget accommodation at the resort is dictated by the market,” Ovchinnikov noted. Thus, Alpen Club will become the second major player in this niche after the Novosibirsk AYS-Group, which built a 200-bed AYS-PROFILAK hostel several years ago.
The sports-type hotel "Shoria Port", as, is part of a large project of Kemerovo businessman Yakov Kolesnik for the development of helicopter tourism. It is likely that the entrepreneur and helicopter designer will rent cars from the fleet of the Altai-Avia company, which already visited the resort in 2015, but later abandoned its plans to organize helicopter tours.
Also in the 2017-2018 season, Sheregesh will launch four new lifts. This includes a four-seater lift with windproof caps on Mount Mustag, which is being built by Igor Prokudin's Cascade Resort (owner of the Kuzbass Fuel Company). Its planned capacity will be 2,028 people per hour. The second ski lift under construction by Olympia-Express is designed to lift 2,400 people per hour. Its starting station is located at the slope of sector A, not far from the Elena Hotel. The upper station is located on the top of Mount Zelyonaya.
Photo by Yuri Lobachev The third lift will appear in sector E. The road to Mount Utuya was built by the Kem-Oil Group of Companies, businessman Alexander Yugan. Another throw-up lift will take skiers from the parking lot to the main lifts. Thus, total amount lifts will reach 19.
As Nikolai Ovchinnikov noted, the resort will continue to operate a single ski pass, the prices for which are planned to remain at last year's level. The representative of the administration added that the authorities of the region did not manage to include Malka LLC (Panorama and Ryzhaya) into a single “travel” route due to the owner's unwillingness to participate in the system.
Despite the sufficient number of small investment projects, large-scale investments in the resort are not yet to be expected. The implementation of measures for the development of sector B, publicly announced by the regional administration, has so far been suspended. In particular, due to the lack of funding from the Federal Center for Project Financing (part of VEB). The expectations of the "Corporation for the Development of the Sheregesh Resort Zone", about which "KS", did not come true.

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 have not yet been 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?

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.
