Almaty hosted the [[2011 Asian Winter Games]], bid for [[2014 Winter Olympics]], considered a bid for [[2018 Winter Olympics]], but decided to bid for [[2022 Winter Olympics]] instead; Shymbulak was a venue for the Alpine Skiing events (both speed and technical), and would have been for the latter.<ref>[http://www.gamesbids.com/eng/winter_olympic_bids/1216133778.html Almaty Considers 2018 Winter Games bid]</ref>

== Ski area information ==
There are three [[ski lift]]s, which cumulatively reach [[Talgar pass]] ({{convert|3200|m|ft|-2|disp=sqbr}} above the sea level), the highest point of the ski resort.
