Completed a two day avalanche awareness course with max then a day tour with Kirill. Both were fantastic!! Max was a very knowledgeable instructor and we learnt a lot!! The day tour was fantastic, beautiful scenery, nice snow and great guide. Highly recommended and would love to come back for more touring

Safe and nice day trip during my vacation in Almaty. Thanks to Max and the crew. Did it last year and came back this year again.

We had a great time with Max. He did a custom 3 day ski trip with us for a couple of days at 2 ski resorts and one day of touring. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and great at finding us amazing snow and powder. Highly recommend!

Perfection is the right word to describe my experience with FrozenRocks. Staring from answering plenty of my questions well in advance before the trip, provide me advices about accomodation and services availability in Kazakhstan through highly qualified guiding and end up comfortable transfers. I plan to come back for skitouring fun with FrozenRocks again.

We had a really great experience! We are experienced skiiers but had never done Backcountry skiing. Our guide, Maxim, was really patient with us. He has a lot of experienced and found the perfect hike for us, which we enjoyed from the start to the end. He is also a very nice guy, with proficient English skills, so we had great conversations. We can highly recommend booking this tour if you would like to explore the Tian Shan mountains off the beaten track!

When I decided to go back to Almaty after my trip in 2022, I directly contacted Max, because he was an amazing guide on last year. In Sept 2023, we made a 4-days tour in Altyn-Emel and Tuzkol Lake, and it was an incredible tour! Max is a very professional guide, with a deep knowledge of the sites he visits with you, able to provide a lot of interesting info about them. He also knows extremely well the region and can therefore propose breathtaking visits of hidden sites, far from touristic ones. He was considerate, courteous and as a woman travelling alone, I felt completely secured with him. He clearly meets the highest standards, and I strongly recommend him (also for mountains sports he is so passionate about!)

Great experience and adventure in the beautiful kazakhs' mountains. Great crew taking care of the level of the group, the snow conditions and the motivation. I recommend to travel with them it was perfect to visit the country and do the sport that we love. Bisous

3-day-ski-touring, Shymbulak and Butaksuka-Valley. Very good contact with Max, excellent guiding by Dima, perfect English, no complaints from my side, reasonable price. I would book again.

I went to ridder camp twice in december 2022 and march 2023. Best trip, great snow, excellent guides. Houses with all amenities. Julia you are the best, thank you!

I’m not used to leave reviews, but Max really deserves it. Professional, precise and very kind. I spent two days with him, one skiing and one hiking in a wonderful Canyon. If you wanna enjoy Almaty’s natural beauties Max is your best choice

Great trip with a great group of people. A fantastic chance to ski a very out the way place. Warm and comfortable accommodation.

I have been ski touring with Frozen Rocks company in Ridder back in December 2022. The trip was well organized with respect to accommodation, logistics and food supply. For 3 days in a row we were ski-touring at different locations every day. So the intensity was varying. Good to have a good company aside along with professional guides/instructors. A great bonus was to finish a hard work day in a sauna well prepared by a accommodations holds!

We went ski touring together with Maxim, for the first time in our lives. Communication before the tour was clear and understandable, Maxim helped not only with renting one split board, but also recommended a place for an excellent rental of a second board; he showed a video from the location in advance. On the day of the tour we met exactly on time, quickly got to the place. Maxim is careful with regard to safety, performs group checks, patiently walks us through a new sport for us. We climbed up the picturesque valley, timing turned out exactly as expected. It is important to go ski touring not for the sake of skiing (it is very short in time), but also just to enjoy the views, a mini-hike. The atmosphere during the ascent was just like hiking, everyone helped each other. Maxim suggested some techniques, and provided practice. We finished climbing tired but happy, had a snack and went down. The local snow was very different from the one we are used to: very crumbly, almost entirely composed of facets. But you get used to it and get a lot of pleasure from unrolled wide slopes. I highly recommend Maxim as a guide, we match on interests and manner of communication, and hope to go again!

I took the 1-day ski-tour trip with these guys. It was a fine sunny day with amazing views! On the way downhill the weather got very foggy but thanks to the guide we all came back safe and sound.

I have participated in skitour with Frozen Rocks in February 2023 and had a nice experience being part of that tour. All participants were good companions and we have spend good time on a whole route. The tour was well organized and performed. We made very memorizable descents on the slopes of Kok-Zhailau place.
