Summary
Great location on the shore of Siberian Baikal lake (the deepest and biggest lake in the world) and just a few minutes walk from the Trans-Siberian railway make it a very interesting spot if you are also after sightseeing, winter fishing, or trekking. However, if your goal is to snowboard only, the resort may seem a bit small.

ON THE SLOPES: Lots of snow, various runs
OFF THE SLOPES: Friendly little town on Baikal lake
MONEY WISE: Cheap if you avoid weekends and holidays
