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.
gollark: Go's syntax is kind of nicer but its awful type system (yes, worse than an untyped language's) is... not good.
gollark: You know, it very much might be.
gollark: It's currently sitting at "basic features work" (editing, creating, viewing note pages), but more advanced stuff is not implemented because the design is hard to do elegantly.
gollark: It's going slowly because programming is hard and I'm lazy and conflicted on some design aspects.
gollark: Minoteaur (v2.0.0 really early alpha) is a server-rendered webapp using SQLite/Node.js/Express. I briefly experimented with making UI-type stuff run on the client but it was annoying.
