Gazprom Ski Resort, owned by a Russian oligarch.

Gazprom is the second largest ski resort in Sochi, owned by Gazprom, Russia's largest oligarchic gas company. It mainly provides winter vacation services for important figures and company executives. It is less crowded and the service is excellent. The total length of the ski trails is 40 km, with 16 cable cars, and the drop within the trails can reach 1,700 meters. It is mainly composed of two areas: the high mountain area Alpika and the forest area Laura. High mountain area Alpika: The slope is steep but not extreme, similar to the north slope of Rosa Khutor. The terrain is open and there are few people for a long time, so the overall experience is very good. The valley has a wide view, and the ski trails are wide mountain roads, with untouched powder snow areas easy to find. There is a ski trail at the top of the mountain that connects to Rosa Khutor. There is a large cable car at the bottom that connects the high mountain area and the forest area, with a commute time of about 40 minutes. Forest area Laura: The ski trails are wide and flat, and the entire area is surrounded by beautiful snow-capped mountains and forests, with the ski trails winding through the woods. Occasionally, you can enter the woods for a section of powder snow, and then return to the ski trails. The stumps and fallen logs create an interesting terrain. Suitable for all levels, especially beginners or intermediate skiers, with a great experience. Snow quality: The temperature is relatively stable above 1,500 meters in the high mountain area, and the snow quality is well maintained. The temperature has a great impact from 1,100 to 500 meters, and if the temperature is not ideal, the ski trails from 1,100 to 500 meters will be closed. The forest area is generally at a low altitude, and the snow quality is often wet, but still playable.
