The village is well known for its ski resort thanks especially to its relative proximity to Bishkek (approx. 100 km), its night skiing facility as well as its regular treatment with snow groomers and snow cannons.
The resort has three primary ski slopes: red (800m + 400m long), blue (1200m) and green (200m). Two consecutive chairlifts and one ski tow operate there. The maximum height difference is around 300m.
