Elbrus Expedition Dispatch
July 3, 2015 – Some Photos from Our Visit to Our Barrel and Garabashi
The new Gondolas at Mount Elbrus Ski area provide smooth transportation to the mountain at mid-level
We loaded up and rode, two gondola rides and one chair ride to 12,800 feet.
Kristen is loving the ride.
Near the top we rode the classic single chair lifts to Garibashi, elevation 12,800 feet.
A kids ski team that had been training was riding down as we were riding up.
Vladimir ready for another walk up Garabashi. It is a beautiful day!
Heather and Todd move out together carrying big packs.
Nic is ready.
Kristen is also ready for the glacier.
We stopped briefly in our Barrel.
Yes, there is an exercise bicycle in our Barrel.
We decided to do our training by moving up the glacier.
We had our goal before us.
And it was a beautiful day to be moving higher.
