Grigoriy’s Chimgan – The Hidden Face of Uzbekistan In the mountains around Chimgan, Uzbekistan, lies a ski culture largely unknown to the outside world. Paul and Loïc travel there to meet Grigoriy, a local ski legend who pioneered freeride skiing in the region.

Through his stories, they discover an unexpected side of Uzbekistan, its mountains and a unique ski culture now finding new momentum — while hoping to repeat a first descent Grigoriy made on Greater Chimgan many years ago.

Grigoriy’s Chimgan is a raw journey where new lines lead to old stories, and one man’s passion continues to inspire generations.
