An alpine complex located within Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk city proper. It has nine runs (1 black, 5 reds & 3 greens) and three lifts, including a modern 2½ km gondola lift. There is also a bit of English information on the [http://www.snowboard.katorga.ru/docs/english.htm local snowboarding federation’s website]. If you’re not into winter sports, you can still take the cable car to the top for nice views over the city and surroundings.
