New Travel Adventure: Go Skiing, Catch Bigfoot, Collect One Million Ruble

Looking for a new adventure on your next vacation? Want to try a little yeti hunting? There is a new ski resort being planned in Shoria, South Siberia where you could do just that. The owner, or one of the organizers, Igor Idimeshev is so confident that the property they plan to build for the resident yeti will be accepted as the yeti’s new home, that he promises conversation between guests and the yeti.

Bigfoot is known in the area as “Master of the Taiga”, and there is a “Yeti Day” holiday once a year. While the belief is strong, there has never been a capture. There have been a few sightings and someone was able to get a cast of a footprint and some hairs… but should you venture to the resort, study the museum and then track the yeti capturing a specimen, you shall be rewarded with one millions ruble! (Supposedly).

Sound like it’s worth your time? Read about the rest of the plans here.
