Description
My name is Talgat, but everybody callin me Tal. I am the manager of volunteers of the mountain ski & snowboard resort. For me this is a real place of power. Come and see.
We have more then hundred paid staff( international PGI company). Office and service departments. We plan to involve workawayers in the areas of resort development, public,eco-environmental, renovation projects.Our resort is located in the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatu. The workawayers base is located on the territory of the high-mountain ice skating rink Medeo, 1690 m above sea level. The area of our resort covers the territory from Medeo to the highest point of the Talgar pass 3200 m above sea level. From slender Tianshan firs, pines and birches to alpine meadows and eternally cold glaciers in just 35 minutes you can get in a CABLE CAR CABIN FOR FREE.
In Kazakhkstan ALL DRUGS are illegal we kindly ask you to not bring that to appartment or at the resort.
