 A view from the boat on the city pond by Mirriko If you feel like rowing, there's a rent-a-boat station on the city pond in Yekaterinburg. You can sail across the pond up to the Glavny Prospect (the Plotinka) in one direction and to the VIZ district in another direction. The prices are about $2/hour for water bicycles and older boats and about $4/hour for newer boats. Pros: The banks of the pond are very picturesque. Cons: No swimming please, the water is not so clean.
A cap or some cover for head is a must - it's very easy to get a heatstroke sailing in a hot sunny day. You may have to buy a bottle of mineral water or a snack beforehand, because the station's shop doesn't boast a wide assortment of soft drinks and snacks. Leave a Comment Theme: Boating/SailingAddress: Yekaterinburg, Grazhdanskaya Str., 19Directions: Staying on the bridge in Chelyuskintsev Street with your back to the Plotinka, the station is right in front of you. Just go down from the bridge and you won't miss it.

I did go boarding one day, but I didn't plan on it, so I wasn't prepared & everything was rental. The riding itself was actually OK, it was all hardpack but not icy, not really much snow off the trails when I was there so no tree skiing or anything. The mountains are short & sweet. VERY short, but plenty steep, & I'm from Telluride Colorado so I do know what a real mountain is... I'm not big on snow terrain parks, but if they would just get a pipe dragon they'd have some goods.
They made me put down like $600 AND my passport to rent, it was rediculous, & the equiptment they had I would have used to make a bench with here in the states, it was seriously trashed, so if you go, bring your old gear that you would never consider riding, & sell it there before you leave. Leave a Comment Theme: Skiing/SnowboardingDirections: I will find out where I was & update this page.
