So i'm originally from Moscow but moved to the states when i was young. Most of the ski places my family has been have been on the western side of the country not far from the city.

My brother/a few friends have been discussing planning a trip to climb/hele in Russia. One area of interest that has cropped up has been Kamchatka: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamchatka_Peninsula

i'm wondering if anyone here has heard of anything about the area? lately been watching a lot of Doug Coombs, Jean Marc Boivin Bill Briggs, etc. and been inspired.

i'm hoping to move to alaska for a year after taking my MCATs and give Rainier a real go next year.

Is that the little peninsula kind of above Japan? I don't know anything about it, but I think its sick when people ski in places where not many others go. Also it's cool that you're from Russia.

Powder did a feature on it a few years ago. The whole peninsula is totally wild and ripe for adventure, definitely put up a trip report about this.
