SKIING .. IN BAYKALSK, RUSSIA .. IN AUGUST ?
No! But they sure were skiing in Baykalsk, Russia, on April 6th, when we visited.
On the weekend of April 6-7, 2019, Patti and I, along with friends here in Irkutsk who drove us in their automobile, took a trip down to the Slyudyanka area.
Below is a link to a dot.net Post showing this area:

In the map at the very bottom of the above dot.net Post, you will see where Baykalsk is located relative to Irkutsk, Slyudyanka and Lake Baikal.
Because I may be returning to Baykalsk the weekend of August 16-18, I decided to now go-back-in-time and show photos of the amazing Baykalsk Skiing Area.
'Zilla : This sure is not a restaurant review BUT, I know that skiing is near and dear to your heart!
And off to the ski slopes we go.

Below are maps showing the ski slopes and the degree of difficulty of each.

The red dots indicate very difficult slopes.
Here we are, the real deal. Snow and skiing.
April 6th. You'd think that we are in Russian Siberia wouldn't you?
Novice that I am, I consider the below slope grooming machinery to be serious equipment.
Two very beautiful and happy ladies. My Dear One, this was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
There you have it.

By The Way : The English spelling of Baikalsk is Baykalsk and this is what you see on Google Maps.
In Russian it IS Baikalsk as in Байкалск.
