Ski touring in Russia. March 2019

Khibiny is a very atmospheric place and I've been lucky to discover it for myself last March guided by Sergei Shestikhin. Mountain area is relatively "small" but increadibly packed with a great variety of couluars and relief features, which makes it a rather interesting playground. And Sergey is "The Man", who know this playground to its best and helped us to discover it to best possible. The program is indeed well balanced with warm-up / adventure / resort / challange days. Of course, weather dictaites the final schedule, and Sergey as a guide follows it really closely. No shortcuts on safety, no chaces "what if" - he does know and actively use safe practicies of avanache-free behavior in the mountains. So, prepare for cold humid mornings, intense traverses and spectacular colouars.
