Winter in UB is more cold than freezing and the snow doesn’t settle too well, what snow the country does get is pretty thin and loose, usually less than a foot of snow, so the skiing opportunities are pretty poor.

There are a number of stockiest of ski and snowboard equipment, one of which is “Blue Banda”  a Scottish/ Belgian run tour company. They sell high quality gear at the prices you’d expect to pay. The shop is named “Seven Summits” located opposite the Central Post Office on Peace Avenue.

There’s also a sports outlet called the “Art Shop”, next to the silver centre on Peace Avenue selling no brand gear at reasonable prices. If your going to buy any kit make sure you’ve found a place to ski first.

There is one Korean run company a few hours north of UB, but as I said the snow isn’t anywhere near good enough to ski on.

Sleds are available from around 20,000 - 200,000.00 tugrug, and is a popular activity during the winter months, with children and adults alike on the slopes around the city.
