Despite its short history, which began in 2007, "Fox Mountain" in Balashikha is popular not only among Muscovites and residents. Over the years, a kind of club has been formed, whose members meet here at least once a year. In addition to the picturesque location on the banks of the Pekhorka River next to a coniferous forest and well-equipped ski slopes, visitors are attracted to this resort near Moscow by its well-developed, constantly improving infrastructure and the annual commissioning of various new sports complexes and facilities. One of them was the modernly equipped Trajectory snow park, which in its sports and technical level is not inferior to the best Alpine sports and entertainment centers.

Features of the all-season ski complex

Thanks to modern equipment, excellent snow cover on the ski slopes is maintained until April - early May. To form it and maintain it in a safe and working condition, snow cannons are used, similar to those used at ski resorts in Western Europe, and special compaction machines - retracks, which give the surface of the snow track the necessary density. In addition, the specific features of this holiday destination include the following:

all slopes are equipped with modern lifts that fully comply with European safety regulations;

The Lisya Gora resort has its own rental point for all necessary equipment, from renting modern, professional skis and snowboards to pinball weapons. The cost of equipment rental services includes not only the rental of sports equipment, but also all additional accessories - helmets, goggles, pinball masks.

When developing the architectural project “Fox Mountain”, great importance was attached to the creation of a skating rink. In this case, preference was given to a multifunctional option, including running tracks and an ice stadium. In the summer season, the skating rink turns into a karting track, on the asphalt tracks of which adults and children can test their strength and capabilities in karting.

All sports activities are accompanied by instructions given by specially trained specialists. You can get advice on current issues around the clock.

If guests have wet clothes or are simply cold, a cozy, heated pavilion is at their service, where they can warm up, dry their clothes, and have a quick snack.

On weekends and holidays, shows are held on the territory of the all-season ski complex and performances by leading pop groups in Moscow and the Moscow region are organized.
