Cool, I assume you pretty much have the place to yourself then. Am I correct in assuming the terrain is pretty mellow and not that high, about 1700 metres? But it’s probably so far north that the conditions would be very good right?

Sounds very cool! Show us some pictures if you can. I am always interested in learning about far away mountains and different cultures. What’s the ssnowpack and vertical?
Cheers
For Priiskovy region that is shown on the map above: snowpack is up to 3 meters, angles are from 15 to 51, elevation is 200-400 meters. We ride from the end of October till the end of June. The last snowfall with up to 10 inches of fresh is usually in the beginning of May. Here are photos.
this was after storm

Also, there is a beautiful and interesting place Aradan – I’ll write about it in a few days in Trip Reports and will let you, guys, know.

Yes, you are absolutely right about the terrain and conditions (concerning region on the map). Last season was rich in snow and it haven’t completely melted in summer. We rode in August on 1200-1400 metres.
The snow is completely dry, but not as dry as in Kyrgyzstan – much wetter. It is soft and fluffy.
Forest is mostly japanese-like – sparse and good for speed.
