I visited there last week of March, the ticket guy charged 300 som pp for the ticket to let our taxi in and asked us too many questions. When we went up , nobody was there and the ski Base had been closed a week before. Came downstairs to the ticket guy and asked him why he charged us for ticket and didn't tell us that the base was closed . Finally, he agreed to refund half of the ticket price. Very typical of Central Asian countries , not to give necessary info in order to charge the tourists.
