Splitboard Kyrgyzstan

We are going back to the remote Jyrgalan region of Kyrgyzstan in March 2026 for another splitboard Kyrgyzstan experience, and we have some cool new trip developments to share with you.

Meet, splitboard and ride with our new pro UIAGM splitboard guide

We’re stoked to announce that joining us for Splitboard Kyrgyzstan will be none other than the UIAGM, Jones Snowboards Ambassador Guide and big mountain line rider Laurent (Bibs) Bibollet

Bibs joined us for the first time on our Splitboard Greenland Split and Sail trip in May of this year working alongside Rider Social head splitboard guide Paul (Polo) Verdier, UIAGM

In Jyrgalan we will have both Polo and Bibs working together again, giving us the edge in all aspects of mountain safety and the potential to open up some new splitboard terrain in the area.

Both guides will be there on both the weeks we will be in the country.

Choose your length of stay

We have also mixed up the travel schedule a little bit too and there is now the option of joining us for either seven or eight nights. Coming for eight nights means you get an extra day and the great opportunity for a lift accessed snowboarding warm up at the start of the trip at Karakol ski resort before we transfer you up to Jyrgalan for the rest of the trip and the splitboarding, horses and skidoos.

With the option of flying into Karakol from Bishkek Manas, this is a great opportunity to get settled in, chill and ride before the big days of backcountry splitboarding adventures begin.

Current availability

Session 1.

We have only have space for one, perhaps two more people on the first session running 5th or 6th (depending on the length of stay you choose) until 12th March. This is a great choice if you’re looking to come and find out what Kyrgyzstan has to offer and to ride some great snow without committing to a very physically demanding week.

Session 2.

This runs 12th – 19th March and is for the best choice for those of you who are keen to come and explore a little further with us in Jyrgalan. We’ll be looking to try and make some first splitboard ascents and descents on this trip so you’ll understand that it’ll be bigger days in the skintrack. We have space for only two more on this session.

Both sessions include

Two pro-splitboard UIAGM guides to lead you through this incredible landscape, assisted by local splitboard guide James M.
Seven or eight nights accommodation (depending on what length of stay you choose). Shared rooms.
A fresh and authentic home cooked dinner on each night. Breakfast each morning and a substantial lunchbox to take away.
A day on horseback, we use the horses to help us make an ascent of between 400-600m before carrying on using splits
Yurt night, we’ll split to a remote backcountry yurt and use it for one night of your stay. It’s warm, clean and dinner provided.
A skidoo freeride day. We’ll be using the sleds to access the freeride zones in upper Jyrgalan for repeated pow laps.
Transfers from Karakol to Jyrgalan and all road transport required on the trip.
