About Karakol
Karakol ski base sits in a forested valley of the Terskey Ala-Too range, above the town of Karakol at the eastern end of Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan. The continental climate brings dry, cold snow and long clear spells, with spruce forest that keeps visibility good in storms. This Karakol webcam shows the ski base.
Which Karakol webcam to check first
Use the official camera to check snow on the slope and in the trees, and whether low cloud is sitting in the valley.
Before you go to Karakol
Check the ski base's news and the Kyrgyz Hydrometeorological Agency forecast before you go. The road up from Karakol is steep and snowy, so a four-wheel-drive transfer is usual.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
