Currently, the ski slopes have 12 modern trails of varying degrees of difficulty with a height difference from 10 to 105 meters and a length from 70 to 1100 meters.
Thanks to the variety of trails, any guest will find a suitable slope. Thus, the first and second slopes were chosen by intermediate-level skiers and snowboarders, as well as experienced amateurs for the interesting terrain of the slopes. On slope No. 3 of the ski club there is a fun park.
This is the Mecca of new school extreme sports and snowboarding. On five lines there are more than a dozen different figures - boxes, rails, pipes, springboards of varying degrees of difficulty and, of course, biggear - a large springboard with a table from 8 to 12 meters. The park is not just for professionals. For those who are bored with simple skiing, an entry-level track with small jumps and low boxes is suitable. For those who want to safely learn or hone their skills in ski jumping, there is a training air cushion. It is designed for practicing various tricks followed by a soft and safe landing on skis and snowboards. Also for extreme sports enthusiasts, at the top of slope No. 5 of the ski club there is a half-pipe 80 meters long and a wall height of 3 meters.
It was in this half-pipe that Sochi Olympiad participant Sergei Tarasov began his first training. Ski slope No. 4 is a sports slope.
It has the steepest drops and is intended for experienced skiers. Not only sports training, but also international competitions are held on this slope. Slope No. 5 is ideal for beginners and small children.
It is flatter and does not have sharp changes. Along slope No. 5 there is a single drag lift, the landing on which is convenient for beginners. At the end of the fifth slope there is a training track 70 meters long with a free ski lift for beginners and small children.
Here you can try to master the technique of skiing and snowboarding on your own, or use the services of experienced instructors. Also for children (at the end of slope No. 1) there is a children's playground with a baby lift where classes of the Zolotaya Doli club are held. For freeride lovers, a forest trail with untouched snow is suitable.
All slopes of the ski club are illuminated at night.
To maintain the ideal condition of the snow cover at night, the slopes are serviced by special snow compacting machines - snowcats. Thanks to the high professionalism of technical workers and the use of the latest technologies in the field of artificial snowmaking, the winter season in Golden Valley is the longest in Europe - on average 6 months. The beginning of the season, under favorable weather conditions, can begin in early November, and the end of the season has been celebrated for more than 10 years on the May holidays.
Snowboard Park
FUN PARK
Located on the 3rd slope of the resort, and is the oldest in St. Petersburg, the first competitions were held in 2001/2002 (Non-Olympic Games Cup).
This is one of the favorite places for the St. Petersburg snowboarding and new school crowd.
The park has several lines, they are ideal for both beginners who are just starting to try their hand at freestyle or jibbing, and for advanced riders who are already practicing new tricks.
Professionals also visit the park on days off from training camps and competitions. The park is equipped with equipment from the German company UNIT, which ensures a variety of figures and safety when skating.
All figures are built and maintained by a team of shapers who ride themselves, constantly communicate with riders in the park and listen to their requests.
Russian and city starts are also held in the park.
During its existence, the resort hosted the European stage of the BURTON AM TOUR, the Russian stage of the BURTON AM CUP, SPRING JAM, NIGHT PIPE CONTEST, WOODSTOK, VIRUS SPRING PIPE and many others.

Snowboard rental
In our rental you can rent a snowboard and other most modern and comfortable equipment.
The Golden Valley GC offers rental of ski and snowboard equipment from the world's leading manufacturers of sports equipment (Salomon, Atomic, Rossignol). Our team of professionals will find you everything you need for a complete and safe holiday. When selecting equipment, special attention is paid to safety.
It is important that after a fall on the slope, the skis come unfastened to prevent injury. For this purpose, we adjust the fastenings in accordance with the physical parameters of the guest. The length and model of equipment will also depend on your level of skiing. For those new to snowboarding, the first thing they will do is help you decide on your riding style, because all the characteristics of the snowboard will depend on this. Snowboard rental for children
We rent children's equipment that starts from shoe size 25, so even the youngest guests of our Center will not be left without attention.
For safety reasons, all our little guests are equipped with reflective vests free of charge. Custom sizes are also available for “very large people” with shoe sizes up to size 52.
If necessary, trousers, jackets, and helmets are available for rental. As well as expert level equipment for experienced skiers. Rental equipment regularly undergoes comprehensive maintenance in our SKI service, so we are pleased to offer you fully prepared equipment for guests of different skiing levels. If you have any questions related to the operation of the entire complex or need an instructor, the Rental Information Center will always come to your aid.
