In case we climb the summit on 'day 9-10' we go for a hike or skiing. There are some options: skiing on Elbrus slopes (not standard runs) or ski walk/climb in one of the valleys. You will discuss this with your guide and make a decision according weather and snow conditions.
In case we climb the summit on 'day 11' we descend to the hotel.
This is the latest day we can try to climb Mt. Elbrus. If there was bad weather for some days we can try to climb the top this day but we must descend to the valley this day so it may be a hard day for everybody.
Give a look at small photo album about winter ski tours.
