Ski season in Sochi will last until May 13

Winter sports fans will be able to ride on Sochi ski slopes until May 13. Ski season stays open at a high-altitude ski area «Circus 2» of the tourist sports complex «Mountain Carousel».

This area is located at around 2,050-2,300 meters above sea level and is protected by a mountain ridge from flows of warm air. Because of this, low temperature persists there and snow accumulates, allowing to offer skiers the longest period of skiing in bright May sunshine. The area was opened in December 2012, Yuga.ru reports.
