| | Rodnikovaya is a ski base to the south-east of Petropavlovsk. Surrounded
by a variety of ski slopes from wide gentle slopes to fierce downhill runs. It
is located at the site of natural hot-springs, some
covered, some open to the frigid white landscape.

The road winds up to a pass between the
Vilyuchinsky and Mutnosky volcanoes.
From here, there's several kilometers of powder snow
down to the
ski base in the valley.

We start skiing at sunset, and continue into the night, by the light
of the moon.
No ski lifts here, but a skidoo
provides the same function where needed.
