"Fox Mountain" in Balashikha

One of the days of the Moscow exhibition "18 Ski Salon" CEO of the Lisya Gora ski complex, within the framework of the ski bild EXPO program, invited linguaXtrem to visit its resort.

The delegation included:

• director pisteandpowder- programs of non-standard ski holidays Alfred Hartmann from Germany;
• Director linguaXtrem- bureau of multilingual support in the field of the ski industry and extreme species sports Maria Danilova
• Winner of the "Big blogger of the portal about skiing and snowboarding, ski resorts and travel SKI.RU" Maxim Danilov.

Because the " fox mountain"is a resort under open sky- there is no snow on the slopes yet, and you can see with your own eyes the amount of work going on in full swing on the slopes.

So. General information about the resort:

Official website of the resort http://www.foxrock.su

There are four full-fledged slopes for skiing.

Their lengths, without rollouts:

• First slope 285 meters
• Second slope 315 meters
• Third slope 320 meters
• Fourth 315 meters.

The indicated slope length data are more accurate and differ from those published on the official website of the resort.

The maximum difference in skiing heights by October 2011. is 65m. (the mountain was filled up in height relative to the previous season).

In view of the huge reworking of the structure of the resort's pistes (more on that below), the slope with cheesecakes was finally separated from the ski slopes and the training slope. This is logical, the same was done in Tuutari Park in St. Petersburg.

Snowmaking capacities are doubled compared to 2010, which allows you to cover with snow faster, denser and more evenly. Now the resort has 7 powerful lenko and technoalpin snow guns.

The height of the snow cover, starting from December 15, is kept at the level of 70 cm, most of the snow layer is always artificial.
Lifts - 5 ski lifts and one children's rope lift.

A severe headache for the riders and the sources of many complaints - the ski lifts of the Slavic manufacturer tatrapoma underwent a COMPLETE overhaul of the rolling stock and the electrical part of the lift control systems was replaced.

All slopes were equipped with security cameras to track ski breakers, inadequate visitors and freeloaders without passes who decided that they were allowed to walk on the slopes.

Tracks are processed every season every day. There are 2 snow groomers at the resort as snow preparation devices, however, to process such a skiing area, they practically do not stop from the moment the slopes are closed for visitors at 12 at night until the slopes open the next day. As a result, in the morning everyone can drive on a fresh "velveteen"!

On the slope, the lighting masts were updated, they became taller and the strength and number of lighting spotlights were increased.

An important addition - the pavilion for recreation and rental has finally received a ceiling and now it will be warmer in the main indoor area than before.
The only "but" - the restaurant part of the resort is rather weak, the apres-ski tent as the main restaurant does not exactly correspond to the status and scope of the resort.

Compared to last season, the rental has been significantly replenished with ski and snowboard sets, snowboard sets for very young snowboarders have appeared. The total throughput of the rental point has increased by one and a half times.

Opening hours of the resort and cafe from 12 to 24h and from 10 to 23h. on Saturday and Sunday.

Delegation meeting

The whole delegation was received by the gene himself. director Alexei and friendly open guys from the management of the complex.

Representative pisteandpowder from Bavaria was amazed by the recreated volumes of skiing on a small area with an initial vertical drop of less than 42 meters and a slope length of 130 meters.

Already now you can see the pattern of the slopes, according to the pattern of skiing tracks formed by the earth.

Now the resort is undergoing a global construction of new tracks - this will be noticed by everyone who comes to the resort this winter. The mountain got a chic steep wide northern slope, it's a pity it will be put into operation only in a year. This year at the foot of this slope there will be a platform for "cheesecakes".

The length and slopes of all existing routes have increased.
The mountain is filled up by another THIRD and in 2012 it will become 90m high. This is the maximum possible height for a mountain created by the "bulk" method without increasing the base area!

The volume of work performed - every day from the beginning of June, up to 100 dump trucks deliver backfill and fasteners for the soil without days off.

It is difficult for all members of the delegation to believe in such "terraforming" on a planetary scale.

Everyone who has already been there - before, the upper supports of the lifts stood at the top .... and now they are literally in a hole, relative to the new top of the mountain.

In terms of the capacity of all lifts, tatrapoma are the fastest ski lifts, the resort can pass up to 3 thousand people per hour. This is a lot for such a small area of ​​the resort and the lack of other resort facilities limits the number of possible visitors.
The limiting parameters are:

• small parking lot,
• small rental shop
• the presence of only 10 instructors from the League of Instructors. This is not enough for a resort near Moscow.

The most significant problem of the resort is the difficulty with transport from Moscow at the end of the working day. Both the Nosovikhinskoye and Gorkovskoye Highways around 6 pm present a constant traffic jam, and therefore it is difficult to go skiing in the evening after work.

You can get by train to Balashikha, but they rarely go. A taxi is not expensive, 300-400 rubles to Novogireevo metro station, but it is also inherent in traffic jams.

The resort itself, even without snow, is very impressive. Especially when compared with other resorts near Moscow, where it was possible to get out during the 18th ski salon.

On Lisaya Mountain, there really is a place to ride, it's great to look at Moscow from the outside, from a height. For tired travelers, the Pekhra-Yakovlevskoye Estate with an old functioning church is nearby. And for archaeologists, the "Krivichi site" is a federal monument of the 11th century!

The management shared the plans of the resort for the near future:

• The opening of the next season will be tentatively December 8-12.
• Prices for ski passes for the next season have not yet been determined, but skiing will cost either as in the 2010-2011 season, or a little more. And it is understandable, the construction of an incredible scale must somehow pay off.
• There are plans to purchase additional snowcats for trail preparation.
• After shrinkage of the soil in 2012-2013. at a new height, a chair lift will be installed with a bend towards the river, and the slope with routes 4 and 5 will increase by another 100 meters in length and then Lisya Gora will be able to seriously compete with the routes of the remote resorts of Dmitrovskoye Highway.
• In addition, a belt lift is planned to be installed on the training site, which will greatly improve the situation for beginners.
• The final global chord will sound a huge parking lot and the Building of the hotel-restaurant.

As a recommendation to the last idea, developers can be invited to familiarize themselves with the solutions of restaurant complexes in Austria, when there is a large area of ​​the fast food complex and a separate restaurant on the other floor. This will separate the crowds of fast food hungry from gourmets.

The Delegation wishes success to this wonderful independent court.

It was interesting to learn that the history of the resort has already been 10 years old and is associated with Austria with its first name "Tyrolean village", it's a pity that the resort was renamed and developed only in the last 3 years. Of course, the volume of construction at this resort is not commensurate with the events held at resorts with natural elevation changes, but for artificially created hills, these are truly global changes.

Representatives of the delegation unanimously support the initiative of the resort management to remove by any means those who wish to walk along the "Fox Mountain" without buying lifts. and this is understandable: huge efforts are being invested in the resort. Embedded in every artificial snowflake is the desire to make the resort better.

All members of the delegation thank the organizers of the Ski Salon, Anastasia Parafilo, for the opportunity to see several more ski resorts in the Moscow region - Kant and Snezhkom.
