Shymbulak has wide slopes, genuinely good restaurants at the base, and Almaty sitting 40 minutes away in the valley.
Keep coming back and I don't really feel the need to explain it more than that.

Two people in baseball caps wearing backpacks stand on a ridge in front of a deep valley with tall snow-capped mountains on the far side. There are puffy white clouds in the sky. They are both smiling.
A young man in a backpack stands next to a golden statue of Lenin on a mountainside next to an old ski hut. The building is painted blue and red. The young man is mimicking Lenin’s serious expression.
Two people, a mother and a son stand on a ridge in their backpacks with a tall glacier capped mountain behind them. It is a sunny day with white puffy clouds in the sky.
A small dome tent sits in a sunny meadow where a young man also sits with a cup in his hands. A tall mountain with small patches of snow is on the distance. A backpack is next to the tent.
